Tool What it is How to run it
Survey Utility This online information-gathering agent
runs on servers, gathering critical
hardware and software information from
various sources. It is utility for servers
running Windows NT or NetWare.
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 last
configuration. This process creates a
historical record of change events for
server hardware and software.
Install the Survey Utility from
SmartStart, the Integration
Maintenance Utility, or the
Management CD.
ROM-Based Setup Utility
(RBSU)
The RBSU allows you to change the
system configuration settings from the
initial startup of the system. Specifically, it
provides:
“Virtual Presence” —allo wing a
system administrator to use the
Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition to
remotely access and configure the
system in an unattended fashion.
The ability to immediately save
settings.
Selection of operating system. It also
allows configuration of system-
specific options such as COM ports
and LPT ports, standard boot order,
and NUMLOCK.
Viewing of installed PCI devices and
the ability to configure IRQ (interrupt)
settings for each installed PCI device.
Viewing and changing of the system
date and time.
Viewing and setting of configuration
options for Automatic Server
Recovery (ASR).
The ability for the server passwords to
be set or changed.
Setting of advanced options such as
MPS/APIC Mode, Hot-plug
Reservation, and CPU Correction
Marking.
Selection of the language for RBSU
(English, French, Italian, German,
Spanish, or Japanese).
On an unconfigured server, powering
up the server causes RBSU to run
automatically.
On an already configured server,
pressing the F9 key when prompted
after restarting the server will cause
RBSU to run.
