• The Diagnostic/IPR Media is the swinstall format distribution media for the
following hardware support products for 10.01, 10.10, 10.20, 10.30, and 11.x HP-UX
systems; it is also the
update format distribution media for the 9.04 and 9.07 HP-UX
systems)
• Online diagnostics subsystem
• Support Tools Manager (HP-UX 10.x and 11.x))
• EMS Hardware Monitors (HP-UX 10.20 and 11.x only)
• HP Predictive Support tools (Series 800 only)

• It is the platform for running offline diagnostics for all PA-RISC systems.
