HP ProLiant Essentials Accelerated iSCSI Pack for Embedded Multifunction Gigabit
server adapters
The HP ProLiant Essentials Accelerated iSCSI Pack enables the embedded Multifunction adapter on a
ProLiant server blade to use accelerated iSCSI over IP networks. iSCSI enables blocking-level storage data
to be transported over widely used IP networks, providing access to the storage network from anywhere
in the enterprise. Additionally, the software offloads the iSCSI function to the adapter instead of taxing the
server blade processor.

Survey Utility

Survey Utility, a feature within HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 57), gathers critical hardware and
software information on ProLiant server blades.
This utility supports operating systems that may not be supported by the server blade. For operating
systems supported by the server blade, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/supportos).
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.
Survey Utility is installed with every SmartStart-assisted installation or can be installed through the HP PSP
("ProLiant Support
NOTE: The current version of SmartStart provides the memory spare part numbers for the server blade. To
