HP Insight Diagnostics survey functionality

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
