Software and configuration utilities 52
HP Insight Diagnostics Online Edition is a web-based application that captures system configuration and
other related data needed for effective server blade 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 51 ) provides survey functionality that gathers critical hardware and
software information on ProLiant server blades.
This functionality supports operating systems that may not be supported by the server blade. For operating
systems supported by the server blade, 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 54 ).
NOTE: The current version of SmartStart provides the memory spare part numbers for the
server blade. To download the latest version, see the HP website
( http://www.hp.com/support ).
Integrated Management Log
The IML records hundreds of events and stores them in an easy-to-view form. The IML timestamps each
event with 1-minute granularity.
You can view recorded events in the IML in several ways, including the following:
• From within HP SIM (" HP Systems Insight Manager " on page 49 )
• From within Survey Utility
• From within operating system-specific IML viewers
o For NetWare: IML Viewer
o For Windows®: IML Viewer
o For Linux: IML Viewer Application
• From within the iLO 2 user interface
• From within HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 51 )
For more information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack.
ROMPaq disaster recovery
Normally, the server blade enters disaster recovery mode automatically when it detects a corrupted ROM.
See "Automatic ROMPaq disaster recovery (on page 53 )."
If the server blade does not detect a corrupted ROM automatically, change the system maintenance switch
settings to force the server blade into disaster recovery mode. See "Manual ROMPaq disaster recovery
(on page 53 )."
