What it is
Compaq Diagnostics assists in testing
and/or verifying operation of Compaq
hardware. If problems are found,
Compaq Diagnostics isolates failures
down to a replaceable part, whenever
possible.
The Inspect Utility provides a report
detailing system information
A client/server application used to
remotely manage Compaq hardware in
a network environment. Reports
hardware fault conditions (both failure
and prefailure) and collects data for
reporting and graphing.
An online information gathering agent
that runs on servers, gathering critical
hardware and software information
from various sources. A utility for
servers running Windows NT or
NetWare.
If a significant change occurs between
data gathering intervals, previous
information is marked, and the survey
text file is overwritten to reflect the
latest configuration and changes since
last configuration. This process creates
a historical record of change events for
server hardware and software.
How to run it
Diagnostics and utilities are located on
the system partition of the hard drive,
and must be accessed when a system
configuration error is detected during
Power-On Self-Test (POST). For a
complete list of POST error messages,
refer to the Compaq Servers
Troubleshooting Guide.
Run the Inspect Utility from the Compaq
Diagnostics program.
For more information, refer to the
Compaq Management CD and the
Compaq Insight Manager User Guide.
Install the Survey Utility from SmartStart,
the Compaq Integration Maintenance
Utility, or the Compaq Management CD.
