2.4 Configuration Record
The Configuration Record utility is a windows-based information-gathering tool that gathers
critical hardware and software information from various computer subsystems. The information
includes such things as the ROM, asset tag, processor, physical drives, PCI devices, memory,
graphics, operating system version number, operating system parameters, and the operating
system startup files to give a complete view of the computer. Configuration Record provides a
means for automatically identifying and comparing configuration changes, and has the ability to
maintain a configuration history. The information can be saved as a history of multiple sessions.
This utility allows the resolution of problems without taking the computer offline and assists in
maximizing the computer availability. The information obtained by the utility is useful in
troubleshooting system problems, and streamlines the service process by enabling quick and
easy identification of system configurations.
The utility displays it findings in a Now.log file. If the original Base.log file is present in the
cpqdiags directory, the Base.log file is displayed next to the Now.log file in a split window with
the differences between the two highlighted in the color red.
