original HP Survey Utility configuration file to the current HP Survey Utility configuration,
and then save the result to a remote file in plain-text format, enter the following command:
# ./hpdiags -s "0005**01" -c surveybase.xml -p -o

Starting the Offline Edition
Starting from an HP SmartStart CD
On an HP ProLiant server, start HP Insight Diagnostics Offline Edition from the HP SmartStart
CD:
1.
Insert the HP SmartStart CD into the optical drive.
2. Shut down the operating system, and then power off the server.
3. Power on the server. The system boots from the SmartStart CD.
If the system does not boot to the CD in the optical drive, you might need to change the boot
order in the Computer Setup (F10) utility so that the system boots to the optical drive before
booting to the hard drive. For more information, see the Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide
on the Documentation CD.
