Insight Diagnostics simplifies the process of effectively identifying, diagnosing, and isolating hardware issues.
System availability is maintained through the following key features:
• Surveying the current configuration, with various levels and categories
• Testing and diagnosing apparent hardware failures
• Documenting system configurations for upgrade planning, standardization, inventory tracking, disaster
recovery, and maintenance
• Sending configuration information to another location for more in-depth analysis
• Managing the Integrated Management Log (IML)
In addition to system management tools, service tools can resolve system problems quickly. To streamline the
service process and resolve problems quickly, you must have the right information available at the time that a
service call is placed. This combination of features simplifies the service process and minimizes downtime.
Insight Diagnostics survey functionality
Insight Diagnostics provides survey functionality that gathers critical hardware and software information on
ProLiant servers.
This functionality supports operating systems that the server supports.
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.
Survey functionality is installed with every Intelligent Provisioning-assisted Insight Diagnostics installation, or it
can be installed through the SPP.
Scripting Toolkit for Windows and Linux
The STK for Windows and Linux is a server deployment product that delivers an unattended automated
installation for high-volume server deployments. The STK is designed to support ProLiant servers. The toolkit
includes a modular set of utilities and important documentation that describes how to apply these tools to
build an automated server deployment process.
The STK provides a flexible way to create standard server configuration scripts. These scripts are used to
automate many of the manual steps in the server configuration process. This automated server configuration
process cuts time from each deployment, making it possible to scale rapid, high-volume server deployments.
For more information or to download the STK, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website .
Service Pack for ProLiant
The SPP is a comprehensive systems software (drivers and firmware) solution delivered as a single package
with major server releases. This solution uses SUM as the deployment tool and is tested on all supported
ProLiant servers including HPE ProLiant Gen8 and later servers.
SPP allows the following operating modes:
• Online mode – The installation occurs while the host processor is running in the normal server
environment.
• Offline mode – Boots a small Linux kernel and enables updates to occur on a single server.
For more information or to download SPP, see one of the following pages on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise
website:
