Diagnostic Tools
What it is
Utility to assist testing and verifying
operation of Compaq hardware. If
problems are found, Compaq
Diagnostics isolates the failure down to
the replaceable part, whenever
possible.
A client/server application used to
remotely manage Compaq hardware in
a network environment. Reports
hardware fault conditions (both failure
and pre-failure) and collects data for
reporting and graphing.
An online information gathering agent
that runs on servers, gathering critical
hardware and software information
from various sources. A utility for
servers running Microsoft Windows NT
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 allows a
historical record of change events for
server hardware and software.
How to run it
Compaq Diagnostics software is available
on the Compaq SmartStart and Support
Software CD. Create a Diagnostics
diskette from SmartStart and Support
Software CD, and run Diagnostics from
diskette.
For more information, refer to the
Compaq Management CD and the
Compaq Insight Manager User Guide.
More information on viewing and printing
the event list can be found in the Compaq
