Booting the operating system

The server blade has now been physically upgraded and it may be ready to boot to the OS.
Certain upgrade scenarios require OS reinstallation:
1.
See
"Upgrade scenarios which do not require a reinstall of the operating system" (page 82)
to determine whether your particular server blade upgrade scenario requires a reinstallation
of the OS.
2.
If a reinstallation of the OS is required, or you choose to reinstall the OS though it's not
required, then complete it now. Refer to
OS specific installation documentation for more information. Any special configuration, such
as for an HPVM host server, must be redone after the OS is reinstalled.
3.
Boot the OS. See
IMPORTANT:
A new Operating System license may be required for the upgraded server.
See
"Operating System Licenses" (page 81)

Verify that the system, especially networking and storage, function as expected.
NOTE:
The Windows Server 2008 environment may require significant time for assimilating
new hardware after an upgrade with no OS reinstall. Check Device Manager carefully for
any problems. A restart of the OS will often correct problems with new hardware. It may be
necessary in some cases to manually install drivers for new devices.
6.
If the Monarch Server is an HPVM host server, then the VM guests can now be migrated back
or started if they were stopped. Refer to the HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation,
Configuration, and Administration document for information regarding guest migration. Test
each VM guest to make sure it's functioning properly.

After completing the upgrade, contact HP with the server serial number and new product number.
