NAME
diag2 - interface for diagnostic logging and interface to processors
DESCRIPTION
is used by hardware monitors and tools within the Support Tools Manager (STM), to interact with processor hardware via Processor Dependent
Code (PDC). Without support tools for processors will not be able to operate.
is also the key component for the following support features:
I/O error logging
Low priority machine check (LPMC) logging
Memory error logging
Pro-active memory page deallocation.
Without the above, information that could help prevent a system or peripheral failure will be lost. In addition, if a failure occurs, HP
will not have the tools or data to diagnose the cause of the problem in a timely manner. This may cause increased downtime and possible
future failures.

NAME
stm, xstm, mstm, cstm - Support Tools Manager
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/stm [-x|-m|-c] [-f command_file]
/usr/sbin/xstm [-f command_file]
/usr/sbin/mstm [-f command_file]
/usr/sbin/cstm [-f command_file]
DESCRIPTION
The Support Tools Manager (STM) provides three interfaces that allow a user access to an underlying toolset, consisting of information mod-
ules, firmware update tools, verifiers, diagnostics, exercisers, expert tools, and utilities:
XSTM - the graphical interface (for X11-based graphics terminals)
MSTM - the menu-based interface (for non-X11-based, non-graphics terminals)
CSTM - the command line interface (for running scripts)
Which interface you choose will depend upon your needs, preferences, and resources as a user.
If STM is run and [-x|-m|-c] is not specified, then:
If the "DISPLAY" environment variable is set, XSTM is run.
If the "DISPLAY" environment variable is not set, MSTM is run.
Application Usage
This tool will be deprecated on new server models. Please use System Management Homepage (see hpsmh(1M)).
OPTIONS
-x
The XSTM program is the X-Windows interface for the Support Tools Manager (STM). It allows you to access and run various support tools
(information modules, firmware update tools, verifiers, diagnostics, exercisers, and utilities, depending upon your level of licensing
privilege) on one or more PA-RISC machines.
You can run XSTM on one machine, and use it to run support tools on one or more remote machines (Units Under Test, or UUTs). Alterna-
tively, you can run XSTM on one machine, and use it to run support tools on the same machine (i.e., the machine running XSTM and the UUT
are one and the same).
The basic principle of XSTM usage is that you see a display of the legacy devices configured on the UUT (the legacy system map, or legacy
device map) when you first run the interface. Alternatively, display of the agile devices configured on the UUT (the agile system map, or
agile device map) can be seen by selecting the "View Agile Map" option in the "System" menu. For information about legacy devices and
agile devices see intro(7) manpage. By clicking on one or more icons representing the device(s) you want to test, or whose logs you want
to view, and using the appropriate pulldown and popup menus, you can test your system to see if it is functioning properly. Any problems
with your system will be reflected by color changes to the icons in the device map (e.g., red for "Failure"), in its legacy view or agile
view or both the views (if a device is represented in both the views, the color change will be reflected in both of them). By viewing the
corresponding log (e.g. the Failure Log), you can then determine the appropriate corrective action to take. Use the Help pulldown menu to
access the online help system.
-m
The MSTM program is the menu interface for the Support Tools Manager (STM). It provides the same functionality as XSTM described above.
The device map is a list of devices on the Unit Under Test (UUT). You select devices by moving the cursor with the up and down arrow keys
to the line entry for the desired device(s). You issue commands by means of function keys. Any problems with your system will be
reflected by changes in the "Last Op Status" column of the device map. By viewing the corresponding log (e.g. the Failure Log), you can
then determine the appropriate corrective action to take. Press the help function key to access the online help system.
-c
The CSTM program is the command line interface for the Support Tools Manager (STM). It provides the same functionality as XSTM described
above. Entering the command "map" displays a list of legacy devices (the legacy device map) on the Unit Under Test (UUT). Entering the
command "amap" displays a list of agile devices (the aglie device map) on the Unit Under Test (UUT). You select devices by entering the
hardware path or device number for the desired device(s); use the command "select path" or "select device". Any problems with your system
will be reflected by error, warning, or caution messages displayed by the system. By viewing the corresponding log (e.g. the Failure Log),
you can then determine the appropriate corrective action to take. Entering the command "help" displays a summary of the cstm commands; the
command "help all" gives you full access to the online help system.
-f command_file
The "-f" option allows the user to specify a CSTM command file to run prior to bringing up the selected User Interface. Multiple "-f com-
mand_file" options can be provided and the command files will be processed from left to right.
HELP
Topics available are:
