HP Insight Diagnostics survey functionality

HP Insight Diagnostics (on page

56

) provides survey functionality that gathers critical hardware and

software information on ProLiant server blades.
This functionality supports operating systems that may not be supported by the server blade. For operating
systems supported by the server blade, see the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/go/supportos

).

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 SmartStart-assisted HP Insight Diagnostics installation, or it can

be installed through the HP PSP ("

ProLiant Support Packs

" on page

59

).

NOTE:

The current version of SmartStart provides the memory spare part numbers for the

server blade. To download the latest version, see the HP website

(
