What it is
Utility to assist testing and/or
verifying operation of Compaq
hardware. If problems are found,
Compaq Diagnostics isolates
failures down to the replaceable
part whenever possible.
A client/server application used
to remotely manage Compaq
systems in a network
environment. Reports hardware
fault conditions (both failure and
prefailure) and collects data for
reporting and graphing.
An online information-gathering
program that runs on servers,
gathering critical hardware and
software information from various
sources. A utility for servers
running Microsoft Windows NT,
Linux, or Novell 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
the last configuration. This utility
provides a historical record of
change events for server
hardware and software.

How to run it
Diagnostics and utilities must be
accessed when a system
configuration error is detected
during Power-On Self-Test
(POST). For a complete list of
POST error messages, see the
Compaq Servers Troubleshooting
Guide.
Compaq Diagnostics software is
also available on the Compaq
SmartStart for Servers CD. A
Diagnostics diskette can be
created from the SmartStart for
Servers CD, and Diagnostics can
then be run from the diskette.
For more information, refer to the
Compaq Management CD and the
Compaq Insight Manager User

Compaq Survey Utility
automatically runs at startup and
on specified time intervals. You
can modify the data-gathering
interval by modifying the
command-line parameters.
