Tool What it is How to run it
Compaq Survey utility Compaq Survey utility is an information-gathering
program that runs on servers, gathering critical
hardware and software information from various
sources. This utility is for servers running Microsoft
Windows NT or Novell 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
the last configuration. This utility provides a
historical record of change events for server
hardware and software.
Install the Survey utility from the
SmartStart Software for Servers CD,
the Compaq Integration
Maintenance utility, or the Compaq
Management CD.
Array Diagnostics
Utility (ADU)
A Windows-based tool designed to run on all
Compaq systems that support Compaq array
controllers. The main functions of ADU are to
collect all possible information about the array
controllers in the system and to generate a list of
detected problems.
Power up the SmartStart Software
for Servers CD or use the Diskette
Builder (also located on the CD) to
create ADU bootable diskettes.
Use the information provided in the
ADU.
For a complete list of ADU error
messages, refer to the Compaq
Servers Troubleshooting Guide.
Integrated
Management Log
(IML)
A log of system events, such as system failures or
nonfatal error conditions. View events in the IML
from within:
• Compaq Insight Manager
• Compaq Survey utility
• OS-specific IML utilities
The IML requires Compaq operating
system-dependent drivers. Refer to
the Compaq Software Support CD
for instructions on installing the
appropriate drivers.
