Diagnostic tools HP Insight Diagnostics HP Insight Diagnostics is a proactive server blade management tool, available in both offline and online versions, that provides diagnostics and troubleshooting capabilities to assist IT administrators who verify server blade 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 blade management. Available in Microsoft® Windows® and Linux versions, the utility helps to ensure proper system operation. For more information or to download the utility, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/diags). HP Insight Diagnostics survey functionality HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 43) provides survey functionality that gathers critical hardware and software information on ProLiant server blades. This functionality supports operating systems that may not be supported by the server blade. For operating systems supported by the server blade, 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. NOTE: The current version of SmartStart provides the memory spare part numbers for the server blade. To download the latest version, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support). Integrated Management Log The IML records hundreds of events and stores them in an easy-to-view form. The IML timestamps each event with 1-minute granularity. You can view recorded events in the IML in several ways, including the following: • From within HP SIM • From within Survey Utility • From within operating system-specific IML viewers Diagnostic tools 43
