Tool Description How to run the tool
Survey Utility The Survey Utility gathers critical hardware and
software information on server blades.
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.
The Survey Utility is available on
the HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid
Deployment Pack CD or on the
HP website:

servers/us/index.html
Integrated Lights-Out
ROM-Based Setup Utility
(iLO RBSU)
The iLO RBSU is the recommended method to
configure and set up the iLO. The iLO RBSU is
designed to assist you with setting up an iLO on a
network; it is not intended for continued
administration.
Run iLO RBSU by pressing the
F8 key during POST.
Integrated Management
Log (IML)
The IML is a log of system events such as system
failures or nonfatal error conditions. View events in
the IML from within:
• Insight Manager 7
• Survey Utility
• Operating system-specific IML utilities
The IML requires HP operating
system management drivers.
Refer to the HP ProLiant
Essentials Rapid Deployment
Pack CD for instructions on
installing the appropriate drivers.
Option ROM
Configuration for Arrays
(ORCA)
The ORCA utility is a menu-driven utility that does
not require a CD and can be started when the
server blade is booting. This utility enables users to
perform the following functions:
• Create, configure, and/or delete logical drives.
• Specify RAID levels.
• Assign online spares.
• Set interrupts and the boot controller order.
Run ORCA by pressing the F8
key during POST.
ProLiant Essentials
Rapid Deployment Pack
(RDP)
The optional RDP is the preferred method for rapid,
high-volume server blade deployments. The RDP
includes Altiris eXpress Deployment Server and the
SmartStart Scripting Toolkit.
Install the CD in the CD-ROM
drive of the administrator
workstation or client PC and refer
to the documentation that ships
with the software.
Embedded Server Setup
(ESS)
The Diagnostics Utility, which checks the validity of
three server blade subsystems needed to boot an
OS, is enabled through the ESS System
Maintenance menu. It includes the Memory Test,
CPU Test, and Boot Disk Test. The Inspect Utility,
which allows you to view system configuration
information, is also enabled through ESS.
Run ESS by pressing the F10
key during POST.
Syslog file The syslog file implies a Linux OS and records
server blade activity.
View the syslog file through
/var/log messages
