Set Cell Local Memory To 100% (Cell-Based Servers Only); Specify The Network Interface Card For A Network Boot - HP Integrity rx7620 Installation Manual

If you purchased your server with a Windows OS option, this flag is set to windows in the factory.
If you purchased the server with a different OS or no OS, you must set this flag to windows.
CAUTION:
windows, the OS displays a blue screen error.
To set the ACPI flag, complete the following steps:
1. From the EFI Shell, enter the acpiconfig command.
EFI displays the current ACPI settings. If the flag is set to windows, EFI displays
acpiconfig: windows.
2. If the flag is not set to windows, enter the acpiconfig windows command.
3. Enter the acpiconfig command again to display the settings again and verify that the flag
is set correctly.
NOTE:
Updating the system firmware can reset this flag to default. Verify that the flag is set
to windows after you flash the system firmware.

Set Cell Local Memory to 100% (Cell-Based Servers Only)

HP recommends that you set the cell local memory (CLM) parameter to 100% for optimal server
performance. This setting allocates all available cell local memory for the use of that cell only,
preventing unnecessary reads and writes to physical memory over the server backplane.
Modify CLM settings for each nPartition using the nPartition command (parmodify). You must
first install nPartition tools on the Integrity server or on a remote management station. For
information on installing these tools, see the nPartition Guide at:
http://docs.hp.com/en/windows.html
To set the CLM parameter, complete the following steps:
1. From the server console, run the parmodify command with -p# and -m# options to modify
each cell's attributes in each nPar you modify.
For example:
parmodify -p0 m0::::100%
where -p is the partition number and -m is the cell number in that partition. Sets cell local
memory to 100% in cell 0, partition 0.
2. Restart the server for the changes to take effect.

Specify the Network Interface Card for a Network Boot

PXE is built on common Internet protocols and services, including TCP/IP, DHCP, and TFTP.
PXE extensions to DHCP enable WDS servers to communicate with the network-bootable HP
Integrity servers.
You can specify the network interface card (NIC) for PXE to use to communicate with the WDS
server. When the HP Integrity server boots from this NIC, it effectively boots from the remote
WDS server. Working with the WDS server, PXE installs a new image of the Windows Server
2008 on the HP Integrity server.
To enable PXE on the HP Integrity server from the EFI Shell, complete the following steps:
1. From the EFI Boot Manager, select EFI Shell. The device mapping table appears.
2. Enter the lanboot select command.
3. At the Select desired LAN: prompt, enter the number of the NIC connected to the PXE
server.
4. Exit the EFI Shell.
