The following information applies to memory mirroring:
- The hot-add memory feature allows you to add DIMMs without turning off
the server. This feature is supported only in servers using Windows Server
2003 Enterprise or Datacenter editions.
- To use the hot-add memory feature, memory mirroring must be Disabled.
- To use the hot-replace memory feature, memory mirroring must be
Enabled.
– CPU Options
Select this choice to specify whether the serial number in the microprocessor
is to be readable, to enable or disable hyperthreading technology for all
installed microprocessors, or to disable the microprocessor cache or set it to
use the write-back or write-through method. Write-back caching generally
provides better system performance.
– PCI Slot/Device Information
Select this choice to view the properties and settings for adapters installed in
the PCI slots.
– ASM Settings
Select this choice to enable or disable the Reboot on System NMI option on
the menu. If you enable this option, the server will automatically restart 60
seconds after the service processor issues a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) to
the server. If you disable this option, the server will not restart. Enable is the
default setting.
– Scalability Port Configuration
Select this choice to view a summary of the current scalability port
configurations. (This choice appears on the Advanced Setup menu when
cables are connected to the SMP Expansion Ports.)
Note: Scalability ports are called SMP Expansion Ports in this publication.
– Scalable Partition Settings
Select this choice to view a summary of current scalable partition settings and
to configure or delete partition settings.
Notes:
1. Partition settings are called partition descriptors in some IBM
documentation.
2. See "Configuring scalable partitions" on page 22" for more information on
creating, deleting, and configuring scalable partitions.
v Error Logs
Select this choice to view or clear error logs.
Note: When troubleshooting problems with PCI-X slots, you will notice that the
error logs report the PCI-X busses numerically. The numerical assignment will
change, depending on your configuration.
– POST Error Log
Select this choice to view the three most recent error codes and messages
that were generated during POST. Select Clear error logs to clear the POST
error log.
