Updating firmware• Updating ProLiant firmware can be performed using one of the

following offline or online methods:− ROM Update Utility (offline): To perform firmware updates for

selected ProLiant servers and options, use this utility available in the boot environment of the ProLiant Firmware Maintenance CD. The ROM Update Utility uses ROM Flash Components.

− ROMPaqs (offline): Floppy-based method for performing firmware updates for selected ProLiant servers and options.

− Online ROM Flash Components: Online method for Windows and Linux systems for performing firmware updates for selected ProLiant servers and options. Customers running operating systems other than Microsoft Windows and Linux will need to use the offline tools for firmware upgrades.

• Hard Drive firmware upgrades/updates can ONLY be upgraded in Offline mode.

• Storage controller firmware are only available for updates via Online ROM Flash Components or the ROM Update Utility.

• For more details on the various ROM Firmware options visit http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/romflash.html.

Misc

Improved memory protectionMemory mirroring

• Protection against uncorrectable memory errors without degradingperformance of the memory system

• How it works:− Memory mirroring uses mirrored banks (on a single memory board) to

providea high level of memory redundancy.

− Customer chooses to implement or not: User selectable via BIOS and default is off.

New

• Data is read from one group of DIMMs while the other group contains a mirrored copy of the data.

• If an uncorrectable Read error occurs, the Read is re-tried from the mirrored copy

NOTE: the two groups must be configured identically.

DIMMs 1-4 and DIMMs 5-8 are mirrored copies of each other

Available for HP ProLiant DL360 G5, DL380 G5, DL580 G4, ML370 G5, and ML570 G4.Most server also support online spare memory

RAID

RAID TechnologyWhat does the RAID acronym stand for?

∙ Redundant Array of Individual Drives∙ Redundant Array of Inexpensive DisksName the RAID Types:

0 or Striped1 or Mirroring3 and 4 or Dedicated Parity5 or Striped with Parity 6 or Striped with Dual Parity

What are the minimum amount of disks needed for each set?How many disks can you lose in each set and not lose data?

Troubleshooting and Problem Solving

Troubleshooting Techniques and Problem Examples• iLO Password Override – Refer to lid for

switch setting• Minimum Configuration – Refer to lid for

config• Will it boot SmartStart?• Troubleshooting Video issues – CPU,

Emulex, memory, and System board.• Non-Maskable Interrupts (NMI) – Usually

Memory issues

Troubleshooting Techniques and Problem Examples - Continued• To capture Blue Screen of Death (BSOD),

disable Automated System Recovery (ASR) in BIOS

• Google information from BSOD• Integrated Management Log (IML)• Operating System Event Log

Hands-On Lab• Tear-down to chassis and reassemble to

working Condition• Run Smart Start• Run System Diagnostics• Run ACU and ADU• Connect to iLO
