7.2.4 ROM-Based Setup Utility tasks

The ROM-Based Setup Utility preparation tasks are different for ProLiant DL G4 servers and ProLiant DL G3

servers. Use the instructions that are appropriate for the server type, as follows:

• ProLiant DL G4 servers

On ProLiant DL G4 Servers, perform the following hardware preparation tasks on each server from

the system BIOS ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). You can access this utility by pressing the F9 key

when prompted during the power on/start-up phase when you turn on the power to the server:

1. Verify that the BIOS - System ROM firmware version server is as specified in the

HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share Release Notes. If it is not, upgrade the firmware as

necessary. (You must upgrade the firmware on each server separately—see Section 7.2.4.1 for

instructions.)

When you have upgraded the firmware, you must reboot the server to bring the new firmware

version into effect.

2. On ProLiant DL G4 servers, you do not need to select the operating system, as this is

automatically selected.

3. Set the System Option/Embedded Serial Port parameter to COM1, IRQ4.

4. Set the System Option/Virtual Serial Port parameter to COM2, IRQ3.

5. On the servers that will be the administration server and the MDS server, set the Standard

Boot Order (IPL) parameter to the following:

1. CD-ROM

2. Floppy

3. Hard Drive

4. PCI Embedded Gigabit Server Adapter Port 1

6. On the servers that will be the Object Storage Servers, set the Standard Boot Order

(IPL) parameter to the following:

1. CD-ROM

2. Floppy

3. PCI Embedded Gigabit Server Adapter Port 1

4. Hard Drive

7. Set the Server Availability/POST F1 Prompt parameter to Delayed.

8. Select the BIOS Serial Console/EMS Support option and set the EMS Console

parameter to COM2, IRQ3.

9. Set the Advanced Options/Processor Hyper-Threading parameter to Disabled.

Before proceeding to Step 3 (Section 7.3), you must have configured each of the ProLiant DL G4

servers as described above.

• ProLiant DL G3 servers

On ProLiant DL G3 servers, perform the following hardware preparation tasks on each server from the

system BIOS ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). You can access this utility by pressing the F9 key when

prompted during the power on/start-up phase when you turn on the power to the server:
