Running ODE-Based Diagnostics
The Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) consists of diagnostic modules for testing and
verifying system operation. ODE provides all the necessary functions for the user to load
specified tests and interact with those tests.
ODE is an ISL utility. To boot ODE:
1
Invoke the ISL environment from the system disk.
2
Type ode after the ISL> prompt to invoke ODE from
the LIF directory on the system disk. The prompt changes to ODE>.
Not all of the test modules are available on all systems. To see what test modules are avail-
able to run on this system, type ls at the
ODE>
prompt. The available modules include the fol-
lowing:
•
lasidiag- tests and verifies the core-I/O functionality within the I/O ASIC chip. The di-
agnostics test the SCSI interface, LAN interface logic, parallel interface, audio, RS-
232, PS/2 keyboard and mouse interface, real time clock, and the PC floppy interface
and drive.
•
memtest - tests and verifies the memory arrays. If an error is detected, the diagnostic
reports the memory card that needs replacement and its slot number. Memtest also pro-
vides a map of the memory configuration so that the user can identify the type of mem-
ory and its slot location.
•
update - updates the system’s Processor Dependent Code (PDC) firmware on the EE-
PROM.
•
mapper - identifies the configuration of HPPA systems. It displays path, identification,
and revision information of I/O components, configuration of memory controllers, pro-
cessors, co-processors, cache, and TLB, as well as processor board component revi-
sions and values of various HPPA system identifiers, revisions, and capabilities.
For further information on the various ODE commands and a complete listing of the com-
mand set, type help at the
ODE>
prompt or at the prompt of one of the test modules.
