Online Operating System-Based Diagnostics

Online OS diagnostics are similar to offline OS diagnostics in terms of support of resources. However, these diagnostics are run in customer sites and cannot alter data repositories. the diagnostics must be careful not to over utilize system resources (for example, these diagnostics must not consume too many CPU cycles or too much network bandwidth).


Note - Oracle does not expect customers to run online diagnostics because those diagnostics drain compute resources and have limited effectiveness due to their inability to lock resources.
