When to Use the Tools
The following diagram provides an overview of the sequence of events when a local
server boots. It illustrates which of the tools you can use at the firmware and at the
operating environment levels, when diagnosing hardware and software problems.
Successful diagnosis leads to system performance monitoring and system
management at the resource level. A description of RSC hardware and software and
the integration with these tools follows.
