Survey Utility

Survey Utility, available for the Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Novell NetWare
operating systems, is an online application that gathers and saves critical hardware
and software information in a single configuration history file. If a change occurs
between data-gathering intervals, the file is overwritten to reflect both the latest
configuration and the changes from the previous configuration, allowing you to keep
a historical record of server configuration changes. It was developed to allow you to
resolve problems without taking the server offline, and to assist in maximizing server
availability.

Running Survey Utility

The Survey Utility can be installed from the SmartStart CD (if available for your
server), the Management CD, Integration Maintenance Utility, or from a SoftPaq
downloaded from the following website:
www.compaq.com/support/files/server
Refer to the Management CD for information on installing and running the Survey
Utility.
NOTE: If your operating system is factory installed, refer to your server-specific user
documentation for instructions on Survey Utility installation and access procedures.
When the Survey Utility runs, it creates a text file, typically called SURVEY.TXT,
which can be viewed in a text viewer such as Microsoft Notepad. The SURVEY.TXT
file contains the IML as well as information about hardware, services running, and
system resources. The event list follows the system slot information. After opening
the text file, you can print it using the print feature of the viewer. For more
information on the event list error messages, refer to the "List of Events" section of
this chapter.
