Diagnostics and Troubleshooting 6-3 Table 6-1 Diagnostic Tools continued Tool What it is Array Diagnostics Utility (ADU) A Windows-based tool designed to run on all Compaq systems that support Compaq array controllers. Two main functions of ADU are to collect all possible information about the array controllers in the system and to generate a list of detected problems. This tool is available for all Compaq servers covered by this guide. Drive Array Advanced Diagnostics (DAAD) The predecessor to ADU, DAAD is a DOS-based tool for Compaq servers with Smart Array Controllers. DAAD collects information about the array controllers in the system and offers a list of detected problems. Integrated Management Log A log of system events, such as system failures or nonfatal error conditions. View events in the Integrated Management Log: On the Integrated Management Display From within Compaq Insight Manager From within Compaq Survey Utility System Configuration Utility A utility to easily configure the hardware installed in or connected to the server. Specifically, it can: Resolve resource conflicts in areas such as memory, port addresses, and interrupts (IRQs) Configure PCI boards automatically Provide switch and jumper settings Manage installation of memory, processor upgrades, and mass storage devices such as hard drives, tape drives, and diskette drives Store configuration information in nonvolatile memory Assist in installation of an operating system Assist in running diagnostic tools such as TEST and INSPECT How to run it Use the information provided in Array Diagnostics Utility (ADU) later in this chapter. For a list of Compaq servers still supported by this tool, visit the Compaq website: http://www.compaq.com The Integrated Management Log requires Compaq operating system-dependent drivers. Refer to the Compaq Support Software CD for instructions on installing the appropriate drivers. If the server has bootable CD-ROM drive, run Compaq System Configuration Utility directly from Support Software CD supplied with the Smart Controller Option Kit, or SmartStart and Support Software CD supplied with server. Use the CD supplied for latest version supporting SMART Controller. If the server does not have a bootable CD-ROM drive, create diskettes with latest version of the System Configuration Utility from Support Software CD, or SmartStart and Support Software CD.
