Running System Verification Tests
HP-UX uses an online diagnostics product called the Support Tools Manager that allows
system operation verification.
Three interfaces are available with the Support Tools Manager: a command line interface
(accessed through the cstm command), a menu-driven interface (accessed through the
mstm command), and the graphical user interface (accessed through the xstm command).
For more information on these user interfaces, see the online man pages by entering the
following at a command line prompt:
man cstm [Enter]
man mstm [Enter]
man xstm [Enter]
For information on the enhanced online diagnostics, see the Support Media User’s Manual
(HP Part Number B3782-90176).
To access the Support Tools Manager, perform the following steps:
1. In a terminal window, type the following at the # prompt to invoke the command line
interface:
# cstm [Enter]
2. The following message appears:

3. To verify the system operation, type the following at the CSTM> prompt:

4. Press [Enter] to return to the CSTM> prompt after all test results are reported.
