Using HPDISCOVERY
HPDISCOVERY provides an inventory of the server being configured and must run on each deployed server.
HPDISCOVERY is executed by the server configuration script and captures the following information:
•
System ID (This field is not supported on 100 series servers)
•
System name
•
ROM information
•
Processor information
•
NIC information
•
PCI devices present in the system
•
HP Smart Array controller information
User process decisions can be made based on data that is in the file created by this utility.
The HPDISCOVERY program loads all plug-ins listed in the DAT file. If no plug-ins were passed on the
command line and the DAT file does not exist, then the program searches the current directory for the plug-ins
and load.
NOTE:
Information may not be as detailed on HP ProLiant 100 series servers.
