Server Utilities
HP utilities provide reporting functions that enable event-focused management and diagnostics. To install and run these utilities, refer to the server documentation.
•Diagnostics Utility—This utility tests and verifies proper operation of the system hardware. If problems are found, the utility isolates failure(s) down to the replaceable part, whenever possible. When an operating system is installed with SmartStart Version 5.30 or later, the Diagnostics and utilities are installed on a partition of the hard drive that contains the operating system. (This hard drive may or may not be located in the storage system.) Always access these utilities when a system configuration error is detected during POST.
•INSPECT Utility—This utility provides a report detailing system information.
•Insight Manager 7—This Web-based application enables system administrators to accomplish normal administrative tasks from any remote location, using a Web browser. Insight Manager 7 provides device management capabilities that consolidate and integrate management data from HP and third-party devices.
•Insight Management Agents—These agents enable easy manageability of the server through Insight Manager 7 software and third-party SNMP management platforms. Management agents monitor key subsystems that are instrumental in making health, configuration, and performance data available to the agent software. The agents act upon that data by initiating alarms in the event of faults. The agents also provide updated management information, such as network interface or subsystem performance statistics, to the management systems.
•Survey Utility—This utility gathers critical hardware and software information on servers running Microsoft® Windows® and Novell NetWare operating systems. If a significant change occurs between data-gathering intervals, the Survey Utility marks the previous information and overwrites the Survey text files to reflect the latest changes in the configuration.
