Description
Survey Utility gathers critical
hardware and software information
on servers running Microsoft
Windows NT, Novell NetWare, SCO
OpenServer, or SCO Unixware
operating systems.
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.
The IML is a log of system events
such as system failures or nonfatal
error conditions. View events in the
IML from within:
•
Insight Manager 7
•
Survey Utility
•
Operating system-specific IML
utilities
RBSU configures the hardware
installed in or connected to the
server. Specifically, it can:
•
Store configuration information
in nonvolatile memory
•
Manage memory installation,
processor upgrades, network
interface cards and mass
storage devices
•
Assist in installing an operating
system
•
Configure ports and IRQs, if
required
The ROMPaq Utility checks the
system and provides a choice of
available ROM revisions and
controller firmware.
The SmartStart Diskette Builder is a
utility that uses data stored on the
SmartStart CD to create support
diskettes. You can create support
diskettes for specific configuration
needs or for software that cannot be
used directly from the
SmartStart CD.
