Configuration and utilities 100
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
).
HP Insight Diagnostics survey functionality
HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 99) 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 ("ProLiant Support Packs" on page 102).
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
).
