Introduction to software problems

The best sources of information for software problems are the operating system and application software
documentation, which may also point to fault detection tools that report errors and preserve the system
configuration.
Another useful resource is HP Insight Diagnostics. Use this utility to gather critical system hardware and
software information and to help with problem diagnosis.

IMPORTANT:

This guide provides information for multiple servers. Some information may not

apply to the server you are troubleshooting. Refer to the server documentation for information
on procedures, hardware options, software tools, and operating systems supported by the
server.
