an operating system, or systems that cannot be tested using online tools. The offline environment
is also useful for testing before a system is booted.
ODE provides a user-friendly interface for diagnostics and utilities developed to run in an offline
environment.
ODE has a distributed architecture consisting of several modules. Each module has a specific
function and uses well defined protocols to communicate with the other modules.
You can use either the command-line interface or the menu-driven interface. The command-line
interface enables you to select tests and utilities to execute on a specific hardware module. The
menu-driven interface enables you to specify the hardware module to be tested, then ODE selects
the appropriate tests to execute on the module.
ODE consists of the following:
Test Controller
Acts as the user interface and launches the execution of the Test Modules.
Test Modules
Diagnostic or utility programs designed to execute within ODE. These modules exercise or
diagnose user-specified hardware units.
System Library (SysLib)
A set of common routines for use by both the Test Controller and the Test Modules. These
routines perform I/O, string parsing, and system control.

Utilities CD Overview at: http://docs.hp.com/en/diag.html#Offline%20Diagnostics
Diagnostic Flowcharts
The diagnostic flowcharts illustrate the following tests:
Flowchart 1: Configuration Test (page 19)
Verifies the configuration of the mass storage interface on a host using the ioscan (1M)
command.
Flowchart 2: Fibre Channel Connections Test (page 20)
Checks all hardware connections between your system and Fibre Channel mass storage devices,
to confirm that they are connected and operational.
Flowchart 3: Boot Test (page 21)
Verifies that the system boots correctly over Fibre Channel.
