NOTE

As of May 1999, the Support Tools can be downloaded from the HP Software
Depot at

http://www.software.hp.com/

At the site, select the product category named “Enhancement Releases”. Then
scroll down to the entry for “Support Tools for the HP 9000”. Click on the
entry for a description of the package. Installation instructions are also
available at the site. When the Support Tools have been downloaded to the
target system, move it to an appropriate directory (such as

/tmp

), then

proceed with the procedure described in this manual.

If you can obtain the current Diagnostic/IPR Media, consider installing the
Support Tools from it, instead of downloading them from the Web. The
Diagnostic/IPR Media contains the required patches and may be easier to
use.
