Access to Redundant ROM Settings
To access the redundant ROM:
1. Access RBSU by pressing the F9 key during power up when the prompt
displays in the lower right corner of the screen.
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
RBSU.
7. Restart the server.
When the server boots, the system identifies whether the current ROM bank is
corrupt. If a corrupt ROM is detected, the system boots from the backup ROM
and alerts you through POST or IML that the ROM bank is corrupt.
If both the current and backup versions of the ROM are corrupt, the server
automatically enters the ROMPaq disaster recovery mode. To perform this
procedure, see the “ROMPaq Disaster Recovery” section in Appendix D,
“Troubleshooting.”
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. By default, the oldest ROM version is
updated. This procedure is the same for both system and option ROMPaq
utilities.
If a power loss occurs during a firmware upgrade, redundant ROM support
enables data recovery.
