HP Insight Diagnostics survey functionality
HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 91) 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.
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 93).
NOTE: The current version of SmartStart provides the memory spare part numbers for the server.
To download the latest version, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support).

HP Insight Remote Support software
HP strongly recommends that you install HP Insight Remote Support software to complete the installation or
upgrade of your product and to enable enhanced delivery of your HP Warranty, HP Care Pack Service, or
HP contractual support agreement. HP Insight Remote Support supplements your monitoring 24 x 7 to ensure
maximum system availability by providing intelligent event diagnosis, and automatic, secure submission of
hardware event notifications to HP, which will initiate a fast and accurate resolution, based on your product’s
service level. Notifications may be sent to your authorized HP Channel Partner for on-site service, if
configured and available in your country. The software is available in two variants:
HP Insight Remote Support Standard: This software supports server and storage devices and is
optimized for environments with 150 servers. Ideal for customers who can benefit from proactive
notification but do not need proactive service delivery and integration with a management platform.
