Internal RAID

The following is supported on the HP 9000 rp3410 and rp3440 servers:
• The A9890A and A9891A RAID cards are supported to provide RAID for the embedded drives.
• The A9827A cabling kit is required for internal RAID. See the HP 9000 rp3410 and HP 9000 rp3440
Upgrade Guide for complete RAID installation instructions.

Firmware

Firmware consists of many individually linked binary images that are bound together by a single framework
at run time. Internally, the firmware employs a software database called a device tree to represent the
structure of the hardware platform and to provide a means of associating software elements with hardware
functionality.
The firmware incorporates the Boot Console Handler (BCH) which provides an interface between the
operating system and the platform firmware.
The firmware supports the HP-UX 11i version 1 (and higher HP-UX versions that support PA-RISC systems)
operating system through the HP 9000 processor family standards and extensions, and has no operating
system-specific functionality included. The operating system is presented with the same interface to system
firmware, and all features are available to the operating system.
Event IDs for Errors and Events
The server firmware generates event IDs similar to chassis codes for errors, events, and forward progress to
the Integrity Integrated Light-Out Management Processor (iLO MP) through common shared memory. The
integrity iLO MP interprets and stores event IDs. Reviewing these events helps you diagnose and
troubleshoot problems with the server.
