Diagnostic tools
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, launch the SmartStart CD.
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
82
) 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
84
).
NOTE:
The current version of SmartStart provides the memory spare part numbers for the server.
To download the latest version, see the HP website (

).
