Redundant Rom Support; Safety And Security Benefits - HP ProLiant DL585 User Manual

Server Configuration and Utilities
5. Exit iLO RBSU.
HP recommends using DNS/DHCP with iLO to simplify installation. If DNS/DHCP
cannot be used, use the following procedure to disable DNS/DHCP and to configure
the IP address and the subnet mask:
1. Restart or power up the server.
2. Press the F8 key when prompted during POST. The iLO RBSU runs.
3. Enter a valid iLO user ID and password with the appropriate iLO privileges
(Administer User Accounts, Configure iLO Settings). Default account
information is located on the iLO Default Network Settings tag.
4. Select Network, DNS/DHCP, press the Enter key, and then select DHCP
Enable. Press the spacebar to turn off DHCP. Be sure that DHCP Enable is set
to Off and save the changes.
5. Select Network, NIC and TCP/IP, press the Enter key, and type the
appropriate information in the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP
Address fields.
6. Save the changes. The iLO system automatically resets to use the new setup
when you exit iLO RBSU.

Redundant ROM Support

The ProLiant DL585 server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely
with redundant ROM support. The server has 4 MB of ROM that acts as two separate
2-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one portion of the ROM contains the
current ROM program version, while another portion of the ROM contains a backup
version.

Safety and Security Benefits

When you flash the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the backup ROM and saves
the current ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the existing ROM
version if the new ROM becomes corrupted for any reason. This feature protects the
existing ROM version, even if you experience a power failure while flashing the
ROM.
