HP Insight Diagnostics

HP Insight Diagnostics is a proactive server management tool, available in both offline and online versions,

that provides diagnostics and troubleshooting capabilities to assist IT administrators who verify server

installations, troubleshoot problems, and perform repair validation.
HP Insight Diagnostics Offline Edition performs various in-depth system and component testing while the OS
is not running. To run this utility, boot the server using Intelligent Provisioning (on page

).

HP Insight Diagnostics Online Edition is a web-based application that captures system configuration and

other related data needed for effective server management. Available in Microsoft Windows and Linux

versions, the utility helps to ensure proper system operation.

HP Insight Diagnostics survey functionality

HP Insight Diagnostics (on page

) provides survey functionality that gathers critical hardware and

software information on ProLiant servers.
This functionality supports operating systems that are supported by the server. For operating systems

supported by the server, see the HP website (

If a significant change occurs between data-gathering intervals, the survey function marks the previous

information and overwrites the survey data files to reflect the latest changes in the configuration.
Survey functionality is installed with every Intelligent Provisioning-assisted HP Insight Diagnostics installation,

or it can be installed through the SPP ("
