8 Configuring the Server This chapter discusses how to configure the ProLiant DL760 G2 server by setting up the server environment, setting up the hard drive SCSI array, installing the operating system, and installing HP drivers and utilities. HP ProLiant DL760 Generation 2 Server User Guide HP CONFIDENTIAL Writer: Jennifer Hayward File Name: i-ch8 Configuring the Server.
Configuring the Server Setting Up the Base Environment The ProLiant DL760 G2 comes equipped with updateable, “intelligent” ROM-based configuration utilities that display and modify the system configuration settings of the server. When the server is powered up for the first time, the server will automatically run an enhanced auto-configuration process, or you may manually configure the server using new ROM-based enhancements described in the following sections.
Configuring the Server If the system memory is installed in an unsupported configuration, then the Memory Configuration Error Diagnostics screen is displayed. For details on memory configuration errors during POST, refer to Appendix E. After the operating system default selection has been accepted or has been set manually using the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU), and the system is rebooted, the boot option screen is displayed.
Configuring the Server Manual Configuration Pressing the F9 key when prompted during POST launches RBSU, from which you are guided through the following manual setup process: 1. Set the language of the server. Figure 8-3: Setting the language in RBSU 8-4 HP ProLiant DL760 Generation 2 Server User Guide HP CONFIDENTIAL Writer: Jennifer Hayward File Name: i-ch8 Configuring the Server.

Configuring the Server ROM-Based Diagnostic Utility When you select Diagnostic Utility in the System Maintenance Menu, the system executes the ROM-Based Diagnostic Utility as shown in Figure 8-10. Figure 8-10: ROM-Based Diagnostic Utility The Diagnostic Utility supplies a preboot method for quickly checking the validity of the three major subsystems of the server needed to boot an operating system. The three tests are: • Memory Diagnostic—Tests of all the memory in the system.
Configuring the Server Memory Diagnostics When you select Memory Diagnostic from the ROM-Based Diagnostic Utility menu, the diagnostic runs until completion or until you press the ESC key to exit. The memory diagnostic is the same system memory test that runs automatically during POST on the first-time power-up of the server. This test uses the maximum number of processors installed in the system to test all memory installed.
Configuring the Server CPU Diagnostic The CPU diagnostic checks the registers and multiprocessing capability of each of the system processors. The CPU diagnostic runs two tests on each processor: • Testing of all the 16-bit and 32-bit registers • Testing of all the flags for all processors If there are no processor errors, then “OK” status is displayed next to the processor information. If there is an error, then an “X” status is displayed next to the processor information.
Configuring the Server Boot Disk Diagnostic The boot disk diagnostic can be used to verify the presence and readiness of a primary boot controller. If a controller is present and ready, the test also checks for a valid operating system boot sector. All three of these tests should pass in the case where a bootable operating system is installed on the server. If any of the tests fail, there will be a problem booting the server.
Configuring the Server Configuring the Drive Array Controller If you are using a simple SCSI controller to boot from the internal drives, disregard this section and proceed to the “Installing the Operating System” section later in this chapter. If you are using a Smart Array 5i Controller or an array controller installed into a PCI/PCI-X slot to boot from the internal drives, the first time the system is powered up, you must create the logical drive (or drives) in the RAID array.
Configuring the Server The location of the external SCSI connector (1) is shown in the following figure. Figure 8-14: External VHDCI SCSI Connector (tape port) NOTE: The external VHDCI SCSI connector supports only external SCSI tape drives. Alternatively, an Ultra3 SCSI RAID controller can be installed in any PCI/PCI-X slot, bypassing the Smart Array 5i Controller.
Configuring the Server Option ROM Configuration for Arrays After the POST sequence successfully concludes, the server executes the option ROMs. An option ROM is the code programmed in the read-only memory (ROM) of any PCI expansion boards or embedded devices that are installed in the server. Option ROMs allow you to make hardware configuration changes for each PCI expansion board.
Configuring the Server Accessing ORCA After the system has completed POST, press the F8 key for custom configuration or the F7 key to accept the default configuration when prompted to do so. The F7 option will only be presented for the unconfigured boot controller. The ORCA main menu is displayed if the F8 key is pressed.
