Tool Description How to run it
Survey Utility An online information-gathering program that
runs on servers, gathering critical hardware and
software information from various sources. A
utility for servers running Microsoft
Windows NT, Linux, or Novell NetWare.
If a significant change occurs between data-
gathering intervals, previous information is
marked, and the survey text file is appended to
reflect the latest configuration and changes
since the last configuration. This utility provides
a historical record of change events for server
hardware and software.
Survey Utility automatically runs at
startup and user-specified time
intervals. Modify the command-line
parameters to change the data-
gathering interval.
For more information on Survey Utility,
including installation and application
procedures, refer to the HP Survey
Utility Online Help User Guide accessed

SmartStart software Located on the SmartStart CD, the SmartStart
utility is the intelligent way to set up your HP
server. The SmartStart CD is used to load the
system software, thereby achieving a well-
integrated server and ensuring maximum
dependability and supportability. The SmartStart
CD contains diagnostic utilities and ROMPaq
tools.
Power up from the SmartStart Software
for Servers CD.
SmartStart Diskette
Builder
Creates a diskette version of the utility from the
SmartStart CD. The support diskettes include
the following:
• Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
• Operating System support
• Server Utilities
• Erase Utility
Use a workstation running Windows
XP, Windows 95, Windows 98,
Windows NT, or Windows 2000. You
also need several 1.44-MB diskettes.
Insert the SmartStart CD into the
workstation drive. The CD automatically
runs the Diskette Builder Utility;
however, if the server does not support
the “auto-run” feature, use Windows
Explorer to run CD-ROM DRIVE:
\DSKBLDR\DSKBLDR.EXE.
ROMPaq Utility Utility that upgrades the current system ROM. Insert a ROMPaq diskette into the
diskette drive, remove power from the
server, and then power up the server
again.
