For more information on RBSU, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation
CD or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/smartstart
).
ROMPaq utility
Flash ROM enables you to upgrade the firmware (BIOS) with system or option ROMPaq utilities. To
upgrade the BIOS, insert a ROMPaq diskette into the diskette drive and boot the system.
The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of available ROM
revisions. This procedure is the same for both system and option ROMPaq utilities.
For more information about the ROMPaq utility, refer to the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/servers/manage
).
System Online ROM flash component utility
The Online ROM Flash Component Utility enables system administrators to efficiently upgrade system or
controller ROM images across a wide range of servers and array controllers. This tool has the following
features:
• Works offline and online
• Supports Microsoft® Windows NT®, Windows® 2000, Windows Server™ 2003, Novell Netware,
and Linux operating systems
IMPORTANT: This utility supports operating systems that may not be supported by the server. For
operating systems supported by the server, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/supportos
).
• Integrates with other software maintenance, deployment, and operating system tools
• Automatically checks for hardware, firmware, and operating system dependencies, and installs only
the correct ROM upgrades required by each target server
To download the tool and for more information, refer to the HP website
(http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/index.html
).
Integrated Management Log
The IML records hundreds of events and stores them in an easy-to-view form. The IML timestamps each
event with 1-minute granularity.
You can view recorded events in the IML in several ways, including the following:
• From within HP SIM ("HP Systems Insight Manager" on page 63)
• From within Survey Utility
• From within operating system-specific IML viewers
• For NetWare: IML Viewer
• For Windows®: IML Viewer
• For Linux: IML Viewer Application
• From within the iLO user interface
• From within HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 63)
For more information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack.
