Server Troubleshooting Server Management Subsystem Hardware Overview Server Management Subsystem Hardware Overview Server management for the servers is provided by the MP on the core I/O board. The server management hardware is powered by standby power that is available whenever the server is plugged into primary AC power. This allows service access even if the DC power to the server is switched off.
Server Troubleshooting Server Management Overview Server Management Overview Server management consists of four basic functional groups: • Chassis management • Chassis logging • Console and session redirection • Service access Chassis Management Chassis management consists of control and sensing the state of the server subsystems: • Control and sensing of bulk power • Control and sensing of DC-to-DC converters • Control and sensing of fans • Control of the front panel LEDs • Sensing temper
Server Troubleshooting Server Management Behavior Server Management Behavior This section describes how the system responds to over-temperature situations, how the firmware controls and monitors fans, and how it controls power to the server. Thermal Monitoring The manageability firmware is responsible for monitoring the ambient temperature in the server and taking appropriate action if this temperature becomes too high.
Server Troubleshooting Server Management Behavior The altimeter circuit is checked at power on by the MP. If an expected value is returned from the altimeter circuit, the altimeter is determined good. The altimeter reading is then set in non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) on board the core I/O card. If the value is ever lost like for a core I/O replacement, the NVRAM will be updated at next boot provided the altimeter is functioning normally.
Server Troubleshooting Updating Firmware Updating Firmware The following sections describe how to update firmware using either HP Firmware Manager (HP FM) or FTP. Firmware Manager You can update firmware by using the HP Firmware Manager (HP FM). HP FM is a set of tools for updating firmware on an Integrity or PA-RISC system. HP FM is packaged with firmware and distributed through the web. HP FM provides two methods of updating firmware.
Server Troubleshooting Updating Firmware CAUTION Figure 5-11 Instructions for updating the firmware are contained in the firmware release notes for each version of firmware. The procedure should be followed exactly for each firmware update otherwise the system could be left in an unbootable state. Figure 5-11 should not be used as an upgrade procedure and is provided only as an example.
