Using HPDISCOVERY

HPDISCOVERY provides an inventory of the server being configured and must run on each deployed server. HPDISCOVERY is executed by the server configuration script and captures the following information:

• System ID
• System name
• ROM information
• Processor information
• NIC information
• PCI devices present in the system
• HP Smart Array controller information

User process decisions can be made based on data that is in the file created by this utility.

The HPDISCOVERY program loads all plug-ins listed in the DAT file. If no plug-ins were passed on the command line and the DAT file does not exist, then the program searches the current directory for the plug-ins and load.
