Disaster Recovery
If both the current and backup versions of the ROM are corrupt:
1. Create a new ROMPaq diskette using your SmartStart for Servers CD.
See “SmartStart Diskette Builder” later in this chapter for instructions.
IMPORTANT: If the ROM is corrupted by a ROMPaq interruption, the initial ROMPaq
attempt may have affected the contents of the original diskette.
2. Power down the server.
3. Insert the ROMPaq diskette.
4. Power up the server.
5. The server generates one long beep and two short beeps to indicate that
you are in disaster recovery mode. The keyboard, mouse, and monitor
are inactive.
6. The server analyzes the diskette, searching for the latest ROM image. If
the diskette is not in place, the system continues to beep until a valid
ROMPaq diskette is inserted.
7. The ROMPaq diskette then flashes both system ROM images.
8. At the successful completion of this process, a sequence of ascending
audible beeps is generated. If the flash is not successful, a sequence of
descending audible beeps is generated.
9. After successful completion of this process, follow these steps:
a. Power down the server.
b. Remove the ROMPaq diskette.
c. Power up the server as usual.
If the ROMPaq upgrade procedure was unsuccessful, power down the
server and repeat the above process.
