Diagnostic tools
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
(http://www.hp.com/servers/diags
).
Survey Utility
Survey Utility, a feature within HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 68), 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 70).
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/go/ssdownloads
).
