HP Insight Diagnostics survey functionality

HP Insight Diagnostics (on page

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 (

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 ("
