Redundant ROM Support
Compaq ProLiant DL360 G2 servers allow system ROM to be upgraded or
configured safely with redundant ROM support. The server has a 2-MB ROM
that acts as separate, active and backup, 1-MB ROMs. In the standard
implementation, the active ROM contains the current ROM program version,
and the backup ROM contains the previous program version.
Safety and Security Benefits
When updating the system ROM, ROMPaq saves the current active ROM
program in the backup ROM and places the new version in the active ROM. In
the event that the system becomes corrupted the previous version of the system
ROM program may be restored to the active ROM. This feature protects an
existing ROM version, even if a power failure occurs while flashing the ROM.
Access to Redundant ROM Settings
To access the redundant ROM:
1. During power up and when the cursor displays in the lower right corner
of the screen, press the F9 key to activate the RBSU.
2. Select Advanced Options.
3. Select Redundant ROM.
4. Select one of the ROM banks as the system ROM.
5. Press the Enter key.
6. Press the Esc key to exit the current menu or press the F10 key to exit
the RBSU.
7. Restart the server.
When the server boots, the system determines if the current ROM bank is
corrupt. If a corrupt ROM is detected, the system will boot from the backup
ROM and alert through POST or IML that the current ROM bank is corrupt.
If both the current and backup versions of the ROM are corrupt, the server
must be set to the “ROMPaq disaster recovery mode”. To perform this
procedure, see the “Enabling ROMPaq Disaster Recovery Mode” section in
Appendix D, “Switches and Jumpers.”
