Tool Function Procedure
Array Diagnostics
Utility (ADU)
A Windows-based tool designed to run
on all Compaq systems that support
Compaq array controllers. Two main
functions of ADU are to collect all
possible information about the array
controllers in the system and to
generate a list of detected problems.
This tool is available for all Compaq
servers covered by this guide.
Use the information provided in the
“Array Diagnostics Utility” section later in
this chapter.
Drive Array
Advanced
Diagnostics (DAAD)
The predecessor to ADU, DAAD is a
DOS-based tool for Compaq servers
with Smart Array Controllers. DAAD
collects information about the array
controllers in the system and offers a
list of detected problems.
For a list of Compaq servers still
supported by this tool, visit the Compaq
website:

Integrated
Management Log
A log of system events, such as system
failures or nonfatal error conditions.
View events in the Integrated
Management Log from within:
■ Compaq Insight Manager
■ OS-specific IML Utilities
The Integrated Management Log requires
Compaq operating system–dependent
drivers. Refer to the Compaq Support
Software CD for instructions on installing
the appropriate drivers.
System
Configuration Utility
Utility to easily configure the hardware
installed in or connected to the server.
Specifically, the utility can:
■ Resolve resource conflicts in areas
such as memory, port addresses,
and interrupts (IRQs)
■ Configure PCI boards automatically
■ Provide switch and jumper settings
■ Manage installation of memory,
processor upgrades, and mass
storage devices such as
hard drives, tape drives, and
diskette drives
■ Store configuration information in
nonvolatile memory
■ Assist in installing an operating
system
■ Assist in running diagnostic tools
such as TEST and INSPECT
Run the Compaq System Configuration
Utility directly from the Support Software
CD supplied the with SMART Controller
Option Kit, or the SmartStart and Support
Software CD supplied with your server.
Use the CD supplied for the latest version
supporting the SMART Controller.
If the server does not have a bootable
CD-ROM drive, create diskettes with the
latest version of the System
Configuration Utility from the Support
Software CD, or the SmartStart and
Support Software CD.
