Solving Problems Running System Veriﬁcation Tests Running System Verification Tests HP-UX uses an on-line diagnostics product called the Support Tools Man- ager that allows system operation veriﬁcations. Three interfaces are available with the Support Tools Manager: a command line interface (accessed through the cstm command), a menu-driven inter- face (accessed through the mstm command), and the graphical user interface (accessed through the xstm command).

Page 209: Boot Console Interface Features
Boot Console Interface Features There are times when you want to interact directly with the hardware of your workstation before it boots the operating system. Your workstation provides a menu-driven boot console interface that allows you to perform special tasks, display information, and set certain system parameters, even if the operating system is unavailable.

Page 214: Accessing The Boot Console Interface
NOTICES: There is no need to manually shut down the HP-UX operating system on your workstation before powering it off. When you turn off the power switch, your workstation automatically shuts down the operating system before terminating the power.
Page 215: Booting Your Workstation
Booting Your Workstation Usually, you start your workstation by turning it on and waiting for HP-UX to boot automatically. However, you may not always want the usual sequence to occur. For example, you may want to start your workstation from an operating sys- tem that is stored on a device that is different from your usual boot device.
Page 216 ISL is the program that actually controls the loading of the operating system. By interacting with ISL, you can choose to load an alternate version of the HP-UX operating system. If you do not want ISL to be loaded, you must enter n.

The Boot Console Interface Displaying and Setting the Fastboot Mode Displaying and Setting the Fastboot Mode When fastboot is enabled (set to on), your workstation does a quick check of the memory and skips I/O interface testing during its power-on self tests. This enables your workstation to complete its boot process quicker.
Page 235: Displaying The Lan Station Address
The Boot Console Interface Displaying the LAN Station Address Displaying the LAN Station Address It is sometimes necessary to supply a LAN station address of your worksta- tion to other users. For example, if your workstation is to become a member of a cluster, the cluster administrator needs to know your LAN station address in order to add your workstation to the cluster.
