Tool What it is How to run it
Compaq Survey
Utility
An online information-gathering agent
that runs on servers to collect critical
hardware and software information
from various sources.
If a significant change occurs
between data-gathering intervals,
previous information is marked and
the survey text file is overwritten to
reflect the latest configuration and
changes since the last configuration.
This utility provides a historical record
of change events for server hardware
and software.
Install the Survey Utility from
SmartStart, the Compaq Integration
Maintenance Utility, or the Compaq
Management CD.
Compaq
SmartStart
The intelligent way to set up your
Compaq server. Located on the
Compaq SmartStart and Software
Support CD, SmartStart includes
ROMPaq™ Utility, driver updates,
and assisted operating system
installations.

pack.
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

problems.
This tool is available for all Compaq
