SmartStart Diskette Builder
The SmartStart and Support Software CD contains a utility for generating
support diskettes in the event they are needed or the software cannot be used
directly from the SmartStart and Support Software CD. Support diskettes are
created from data stored on the SmartStart and Support Software CD using the
Diskette Builder utility. The support includes:
■ Array Configuration Utility
■ Operating System support
■ Diagnostic utilities
■ Server utilities
■ Erase utility
■ System and Option ROMPaq diskettes
To run the Diskette Builder, use a workstation running Microsoft Windows 95,
Windows 98, Windows NT, or Windows 2000. You also need several
1.44-MB diskettes. All data on the diskettes will be overwritten. Insert the
SmartStart and Support Software CD in the workstation drive. The CD
automatically runs the Diskette Builder utility; however, if the system does not
support the auto-run feature, use Windows Explorer to run
[CD-ROM DRIVE]:\DSKBLDR\DSKBLDR.EXE.
Compaq Survey Utility
The Compaq Survey Utility is an online information-gathering agent that runs
on servers, gathering critical hardware and software information from various
sources.
The Compaq Survey Utility stores the information it gathers in SURVEY.TXT.
This file is located in [Windows NT Drive]:\COMPAQ\SURVEY for
Windows NT. If a significant change occurs between data-gathering intervals,
the previous information is marked, and SURVEY.TXT is overwritten to reflect
the latest configuration and changes. This file allows you to keep a historical
record of change events for server hardware and software.
The Compaq Survey Utility automatically runs at power-up and on specified
time intervals. You can modify the data-gathering interval by modifying the
command line parameters.
