SmartStart Diskette Builder
The SmartStart and Support Software CD contains a utility to generate support
diskettes in the event that they are needed or the software cannot be used
directly from the SmartStart CD. Support diskettes are “punched-out” from
data stored on the SmartStart CD. The support includes:
■
Array Configuration Utility
■
Operating System support
■
Diagnostic utilities
■
Server utilities
■
Erase utility
■
System and Option ROMPaq diskettes
To run the Diskette Builder, use a workstation running Windows 95,
Windows 98, Windows NT, or Windows 2000. You will also need several
1.44-MB diskettes. All data on the diskettes will be overwritten. Insert the
SmartStart and Support Software CD in the workstation drive. The CD
automatically runs the Diskette Builder utility; however, if the system does not
support the “auto-run” feature, use Windows Explorer to run
[CD-ROM DRIVE]:\DSKBLDR\DSKBLDR.EXE.
Compaq Survey Utility
The Compaq Survey Utility is an online information gathering agent that runs
on servers, collecting critical hardware and software information from various
sources.
The Compaq Survey Utility outputs the information it gathers into
SURVEY.TXT
. This file is located in
[Windows NT Drive]:\COMPAQ\SURVEY for Windows NT, and
SYS:SYSTEM for NetWare. If a significant change occurs between data
gathering intervals, the previous information is marked, and
SURVEY.TXT
is
overwritten to reflect the latest configuration and changes. This file allows you
to keep a historical record of change events for server hardware and software.
The Compaq Survey Utility automatically runs at startup and on specified time
intervals. You can modify the data gathering interval by modifying the
command line parameters.
