HP Insight Diagnostics Online Edition is a web-based application that captures system configuration and

other related data needed for effective server management. Available in Microsoft® Windows® and Linux
versions, the utility helps to ensure proper system operation.
For more information or to download the utility, refer to the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/servers/diags

).

HP Insight Diagnostics survey functionality

HP Insight Diagnostics (on page

59

) provides survey functionality that gathers critical hardware and software

information on ProLiant servers.
This functionality supports operating systems that may not be supported by the server. For operating systems

supported by the server, see the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/go/supportos

).

If a significant change occurs between data-gathering intervals, the survey function marks the previous

information and overwrites the survey data files to reflect the latest changes in the configuration.
Survey functionality is installed with every SmartStart-assisted HP Insight Diagnostics installation, or it can be

installed through the HP PSP ("

ProLiant Support Packs

" on page

61

).

NOTE:

The current version of SmartStart provides the memory spare part numbers for the server.

To download the latest version, see the HP website (

).
