other related data needed for effective server blade management. Available in Microsoft® Windows®

HP Insight Diagnostics survey functionality

HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 89) provides survey functionality that gathers critical hardware and
software information on ProLiant server blades.
This functionality supports operating systems that may not be supported by the server blade. For operating
systems supported by the server blade, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/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 in the configuration.
Survey functionality is installed with every SmartStart-assisted HP Insight Diagnostics installation, or it can
be installed through the HP PSP
