HP Insight Diagnostics
HP Insight Diagnostics is a proactive workstation blade management tool, available in both offline and
online versions, that provides diagnostics and troubleshooting capabilities to assist IT administrators who
verify workstation blade installations, troubleshoot problems, and perform repair validation.

is not running. To run this utility, launch the SmartStart CD.
HP Insight Diagnostics Online Edition is a web-based application that captures system configuration and
other related data needed for effective workstation 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
HP Insight Diagnostics survey functionality
HP Insight Diagnostics (on page
) provides survey functionality that gathers critical hardware and software
information on ProLiant workstation blades.
This functionality supports operating systems that may not be supported by the workstation blade. For
operating systems supported by the workstation blade, see the HP website
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.
NOTE:
The current version of SmartStart provides the memory spare part numbers for the
workstation blade. To download the latest version, see the HP website
