Hi,
I think the most complete tool is cfg2html.
You can obtain all the information in a more nice way.

I send you the file in zip format. The installation doesn't reboot

Bye

We have a tool provided by HP called 'sir'. It provides a html screen for each server that you include. It is not readily available, except though HP. I am not even sure that they distribute this globally. It runs a variety of scripts and produces very simple web pages. I have all systems updated and the information transferred to one central system where anybody can make use of it through a browser. Information can also be updated and sent directly to HP via email from each server. This is great when placing support calls, as they have the necessary information on your server already. Patches, software installed, hardware, LVm information etc. So I guess the answer is ask your local HP rep....

Thank you all. I guess I'll try cfg2html and take it from there. The 'sir' seems very good but then sadly it's not readily available.
Thank you.
