Diagnostics Dependencies

HP-UX 11i automatically installs support tools on all systems to provide required hardware support. These tools, contained in the OnlineDiag bundle, give you a solution to verify, troubleshoot, and monitor HP servers and workstations system hardware, including CPUs, memory, interface cards, some mass storage and other devices.

	CAUTION: Uninstalling the OnlineDiag bundle prevents products with dependencies on the support tools from functioning correctly. This currently includes iCOD client software, some auxiliary support software, and some peripherals. Not installing the OnlineDiag bundle also removes protections against hardware failures that the support tools provide. Without these tools, you will find it much harder to troubleshoot and fix the problem if a hardware failure occurs. To ensure the reliability of your computer system, we highly recommend installing the OnlineDiag bundle with HP-UX 11i (it will be installed by default with any HP-UX 11i Operating Environment).

The tools in OnlineDiag:

For most computer systems, no special configuration of the OnlineDiag support tools are necessary.
