Description
The ROMPaq Utility checks the system and
provides a choice of available ROM revisions and
controller firmware.
Survey Utility gathers critical hardware and
software information on server blades.
If a significant change occurs between
data-gathering intervals, the Survey Utility marks
the previous information and overwrites the survey
text files to reflect the latest changes in the
configuration.
The iLO RBSU is the recommended method to
configure and set up the iLO. The iLO RBSU is
designed to assist you with setting up an iLO on a
network; it is not intended for continued
administration.
The IML is a log of system events such as system
failures or nonfatal error conditions. View events in

The Fan Redundancy Configuration option
determines the behavior of the server if one or
more of the cooling fans fail.
When the Fan Redundancy option is enabled, the
server will not shut down if only one fan fails. If the
system experiences multiple fan failures, the HP
System Management Driver shuts down the
operating system. Additionally, the System ROM
will not allow the server to complete POST if any
fan fails.
When the Fan Redundancy option is disabled, the
server treats all fans as critical and shuts down the
server if any fan fails.
The ORCA Utility is a menu-driven utility that does
not require a CD and can be started when the
server blade is booting. This utility enables users to
perform the following functions:
Create, configure, and/or delete logical drives
•
Specify RAID levels
•
Assign online spares
•
Set interrupts and the boot controller order
