HP Insight Diagnostics survey functionality

HP Insight Diagnostics (on page

64

) 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.

NOTE:

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

server. To download the latest version, see the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/support

).
