Tool What is it How do I run it
Compaq Diagnostics Program
Compaq Inspect Utility
Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq Survey Utility
Utility to assist testing and/or verifying operation of Compaq hardware. If problems are found, Compaq Diagnostics isolates failure(s) down to replaceable part, whenever possible.
The Inspect utility provides a report detailing system information.
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 Windows NT or 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 last configuration. This allows a historical record of change events for server hardware and software.
Diagnostics and Utilities are located on system partition on hard drive and must be accessed when a system configuration error is detected during Power-On Self-Test (POST). Compaq Diagnostics software is also available on Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD. A Diagnostics diskette can be created from SmartStart and Support Software CD, and Diagnostics run from diskette.
The Inspect utility can be run from either the main menu of the System
Configuration utility or the Compaq Diagnostics program.
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 Insight Manager section of this chapter.

Array Diagnostics Utility (ADU)
Drive Array Advanced Diagnostics (DAAD)
Integrated Management Log
System Configuration Utility
A Windows-based tool designed to run on all Compaq systems that support Compaq array controllers. Two main functions of ADU are to collect all possible information about the array controllers in the system, and generate a list of detected problems.
This tool is available for all Compaq servers covered by this guide.
The predecessor to ADU, DAAD is a DOS-based tool for Compaq servers with Smart Array Controllers. DAAD collects information about the array controllers in the system and offers a list of detected problems.
A log of system events, such as system failures or non-fatal error conditions. You can view events in the Integrated Management Log:
On the Integrated Management
Display
From within Compaq Insight
Manager
From within Compaq Survey Utility
Utility to easily configure the hardware installed in or connected to the server. Specifically, it can:
Resolve resource conflicts in areas
such as memory, port addresses, and interrupts (IRQs)
Configure PCI boards automatically
Provide switch and jumper settings
Manage installation of memory,
processor upgrades, and mass storage devices such as hard drives, tape drives, and diskette drives
Store configuration information in
nonvolatile memory
Assist in installation of an operating
system
Assist in running diagnostic tools
such as TEST and INSPECT
See the Array Diagnostics Utility (ADU) section later in this chapter.
For a list of Compaq servers still supported by this tool, visit the Compaq website at http://www.compaq.com.
The Integrated Management Log requires Compaq Operating System-dependent drivers. Refer to Compaq Support Software CD for instructions on installing the appropriate drivers.
If the server has bootable CD-ROM drive, run Compaq System Configuration Utility directly from Support Software CD supplied with SMART Controller Option Kit, or SmartStart and Support Software CD supplied with server. Use the CD supplied for latest version supporting SMART Controller.
If the sever does not have a bootable CD-ROM drive, create diskettes with latest version of the System Configuration Utility from Support Software CD, or SmartStart and Support Software CD.

Default Configuration

When the system is first powered on, the system ROM detects the unconfigured state of the hardware and provides default configuration settings for most devices. By providing this initialization, the system can run Diagnostics and other software applications before running the normal SmartStart and System Configuration programs.

Default Configuration Messages

IMPORTANT: If you chose to format and partition the boot drive before running SmartStart and the
System Configuration programs, this may prohibit creating a System Partition and the off-line remote management features that it provides.
If you insert a System Configuration, Diagnostics, or SmartStart and Support Software CD into the CD-ROM drive prior to powering on the Server, the system ROM boots to that utility. If the system ROM does not detect one of those CDs, you will be prompted for the intended operating system. The system reboots if any operating system-dependent configurations have changed with the new operating system selection. If the selected operating system-dependent configurations are the same as the current configurations, the system boots normally. If you enter a wrong choice, on subsequent re-boots you may change the operating system.

Inspect Utility

The Inspect Utility provides configuration information such as the contents of the operating system startup files, the current memory configuration, the ROM version, and Integrated Management Log information. It operates with MS-DOS and in the MS-DOS emulation mode of MS OS/2.
Running the Inspect Utility
1. Turn the server off, then back on, and press F10 when the cursor appears in the upper right
2. At the main menu, select Diagnostics and Utilities.
3. Press Enter.
4. Select Inspect Computer and press Enter.
5. Follow the instructions. The first time that the Inspect Utility displays, indicate that you

Power-On Self-Test (POST)

POST is a series of diagnostic tests that run automatically on Compaq computers when the system is turned on. POST checks the following assemblies to ensure that the computer system is functioning properly:
System ROM
Keyboard
Power supply
System board
Memory
Memory expansion boards
Controllers
Diskette drives
Hard drives
Processor power modules
Fans
Diagnostic Tools 3-7

POST Error Messages

If POST finds an error in the system, an error condition is indicated by an audible and/or visual message. If an error code displays on the screen during POST or after resetting the system, use the instructions in the POST Error Messages table. The error messages and codes listed include all codes generated by Compaq products. The system generates only those codes that are applicable to the configuration and options.
NOTE: Many of the actions listed require you to run Diagnostics or the Compaq System Configuration Utility. Steps for running these utilities are provided in this chapter following the POST Error Messages tables.
In each case, the Recommended Action column lists the steps necessary to correct the problem. After completing each step, run the Diagnostics program to verify whether the error condition has been corrected. If the error code reappears, perform the next step, then run the Diagnostics program again. Follow this procedure until Diagnostics no longer detects an error condition.

Diagnostics Software

Test Error Codes Tables include all test error codes generated by Compaq products. Each code has a corresponding description and recommended action(s). The system generates only those codes that are applicable to the configuration and options.
When you select Diagnostics and Utilities from the System Configuration Utility main menu, the utility prompts you to test, inspect, upgrade, and diagnose the server.
Diagnostics and Utilities are located on the system partition on the hard drive and must be accessed when a system configuration error is detected during the Power-On Self-Test (POST). Compaq Diagnostics software is also available on the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD. You can create a Diagnostics diskette from the SmartStart and Support Software CD and run Diagnostics from diskette.
The following options are available from the Diagnostics and Utilities menu:
Test Computer
Inspect Computer
Upgrade Firmware
Remote Utilities
Diagnostic Tools 3-21
Diagnose Drive Array
Diagnostic error codes are generated when the Diagnostics software recognizes a problem. These error codes help identify possible defective subassemblies.

Steps for Diagnostics

In each case, the Recommended Action column lists the steps necessary to correct the problem. After completing each step, run the Diagnostics utility to verify that the error condition has been corrected. If the error code reappears:
1. Perform the next step listed in the table.
2. Run the Diagnostics program again.
3. Follow this procedure until the Diagnostics program no longer detects an error condition.

Array Diagnostic Utility (ADU)

Array Diagnostic Utility (ADU) is a Windows-based software tool designed to run on all Compaq servers that support Compaq array controllers, and are running SmartStart 4.10 or later. The two main functions of ADU are to collect all possible information about array controllers in the system and to generate a list of detected problems. The error messages and codes listed include all codes generated by Compaq products. The system generates only codes applicable to the configuration and options in the server.
ADU works by issuing multiple commands to the array controllers to determine if a problem exists. This data can then be saved to a file. In severe situations, this file can be sent to Compaq for analysis. In most cases, ADU provides enough information to initiate problem resolution immediately.
NOTE: ADU does not write to the drives, destroy data, or change or remove configuration information.

Starting ADU

1. Insert the SmartStart CD into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Reboot the system from the SmartStart CD.
3. Select Array Diagnostic Utility (ADU) from the System Utilities menu.
A Please Wait panel displays, indicating that ADU is identifying the system parameters.
ADU gathers information from all of the array controllers in the system.
The time it takes to gather this information depends on the size of the system.
CAUTION: Do not cycle the power during this process. ADU must perform low-level operations that, if interrupted, could cause the controller to revert to a previous level of firmware if the firmware was soft-upgraded.
4. When the information gathering process is complete, ADU displays the main screen or a panel indicating any problems detected.
5. To generate an ADU report, select File then Save Data from the command menu.
