HP Insight Diagnostics

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

HP Insight Diagnostics Offline Edition performs various in-depth system and
component testing while the OS 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 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

Survey Utility

Survey Utility, a feature within HP Insight Diagnostics (on page

136

), gathers

critical hardware and software information on ProLiant servers.

This utility supports operating systems that may not be supported by the server.
For operating systems supported by the server, refer to the HP website
(

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

).

If a significant change occurs between data-gathering intervals, the Survey
Utility marks the previous information and overwrites the Survey text files to
reflect the latest changes in the configuration.

Survey Utility is installed with every SmartStart-assisted installation or can be
installed through the HP PSP ("ProLiant Support Packs" on page

139

).
