Survey Utility
Survey Utility, a feature within HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 46), gathers critical hardware and
software information on ProLiant servers.
This utility supports operating systems that may not be supported by the server. For operating systems
supported by the server, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/supportos
).
If a significant change occurs between data-gathering intervals, the Survey Utility marks the previous
information and overwrites the Survey text files to reflect the latest changes in the configuration.
Survey Utility is installed with every SmartStart-assisted installation or can be installed through the HP PSP.
NOTE: SmartStart version 7.5 and later provides the memory spare part numbers for the server.
Array Diagnostic Utility
ADU is a tool that collects information about array controllers and generates a list of detected problems.
ADU can be accessed from the SmartStart CD or downloaded from the HP website (http://www.hp.com
).
