Using Insight Diagnostics Commands in Linux
To use the command line switches in Linux:
1. Open a terminal window if necessary.
2. Change to the /opt/hp/hpdiags directory.
3. Enter the command with the preferred switch.
See the following examples:
• To capture HP Survey Utility configuration information, and then send the XML file to a terminal,
enter either of the following commands:
•
# ./hpdiags -t
• # /opt/hp/hpdiags/hpdiags -t
For example, if, every Monday at 5:00 AM, you want Insight Diagnostics to compare the ori-
ginal HP Survey Utility configuration file to the current HP Survey Utility configuration, and then
save the result to a remote file in plain-text format, enter the following command:
# ./hpdiags -s "0005**01" -c surveybase.xml -p -o /mnt/remoteserver/
surveycompare.txt
• To verify the System Management Homepage status on a Linux server, enter the following command:
/etc/init.d/hpsmhd status
Starting the Offline Edition
Starting from an HP SmartStart CD
On an HP ProLiant server, start HP Insight Diagnostics Offline Edition from the HP SmartStart CD:
1. Insert the HP SmartStart CD into the optical drive.
2. Shut down the operating system, and then power off the server.
3. Power on the server. The system boots from the SmartStart CD.
If the system does not boot to the CD in the optical drive, you might need to change the boot
order in the Computer Setup (F10) utility so that the system boots to the optical drive before
booting to the hard drive. For more information, see the Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide on
the Documentation CD.
Starting from an HP Documentation CD
On an HP business PC or HP workstation, start HP Insight Diagnostics Offline Edition from either the
HP Documentation CD or the HP Documentation and Diagnostics CD:
