Auto-Configuration Process - HP ProLiant ML370 Generation 4 Reference And Troubleshooting Manual

Auto-configuration process

The auto-configuration process automatically runs when you boot the server for
the first time. During the power-up sequence, the system ROM automatically
configures the entire system without needing any intervention. During this
process, the ORCA utility, in most cases, automatically configures the array to a
default setting based on the number of drives connected to the server.
Drives Installed
1
2
3, 4, 5, or 6
More than 6
To change any ORCA default settings and override the auto-configuration
process, press the F8 key when prompted.
By default, the auto-configuration process configures the system for the English
language. To change any default settings in the auto-configuration process, such
as the settings for language, operating system, and primary boot controller,
execute RBSU by pressing the F9 key when prompted. After the settings are
selected, exit RBSU and allow the server to reboot automatically.
For more information, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on
the Documentation CD or the HP website
(http://www.compaq.com/support/techpubs/whitepapers).
NOTE: ORCA is supported with the use of an optional HP Array
Controller.
NOTE: The server may not support all the following examples.
NOTE: If the boot drive is not empty or has been written to in the past,
ORCA does not automatically configure the array. You must run ORCA
to configure the array settings.
