Insight Diagnostics survey functionality

Insight Diagnostics (on page 176) provides survey functionality that gathers critical hardware and
software information on ProLiant servers.
This functionality supports operating systems that the server supports. For operating systems supported
by the server, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/supportos).
If a significant change occurs between data-gathering intervals, the survey function marks the previous
information and overwrites the survey data files to reflect the latest changes.
Survey functionality is installed with every Intelligent Provisioning-assisted Insight Diagnostics
installation, or it can be installed through the SPP

Scripting Toolkit for Windows and Linux

The STK for Windows and Linux is a server deployment product that delivers an unattended automated
installation for high-volume server deployments. The STK is designed to support ProLiant servers. The
toolkit includes a modular set of utilities and important documentation that describes how to apply these
tools to build an automated server deployment process.
The STK provides a flexible way to create standard server configuration scripts. These scripts are used to
automate many of the manual steps in the server configuration process. This automated server
configuration process cuts time from each deployment, making it possible to scale rapid, high-volume
server deployments.
For more information or to download the STK, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
