HP Insight Diagnostics survey functionality
HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 79) provides survey functionality that gathers critical hardware and software
information on ProLiant servers.
This functionality supports operating systems that may not be supported by the server. For operating systems
supported by the server, 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.
