Server Configuration and Management

HP offers an extensive set of features and optional tools to support effective server
management and configuration. This section provides an overview of the following
server management features that are detailed in Chapter 8, "Server Configuration and
Utilities."

Integrated Features

•
ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU)
RBSU is an updateable configuration utility that is embedded in the server ROM.
The RBSU configures certain server hardware settings and prepares the server
for operating system installation. The RBSU provides the capability to view and
establish server configuration settings during initial system startup, as well as
modify them after the server has been configured. With the RBSU, you can
manage system options, such as the operating system, Advanced Memory
Protection, standard boot order, PCI-X devices, date and time, ASR-2, server
passwords, boot control order, and advanced options.
•
Redundant ROM support
Redundant ROM provides a disaster recovery mechanism for mission-critical
servers. With redundant ROM support, the server can safely upgrade or configure
ROM. For example, if the server loses power during a ROM flash or if the flash
process is interrupted in any way, the system can be restarted with the original
ROM image.
The server has a ROM image that acts as two, separate 1-MB ROMs. If the boot
ROM experiences a problem, the system defaults to the previous version to
maximize server availability and performance. Without this redundancy, the
server would be unavailable until a special disaster recovery process restored the
original ROM.
