Configuring AMP modes

Not all HP ProLiant servers support all AMP modes. RBSU provides menu options only for the modes

supported by the server. Advanced memory protection within RBSU enables the following advanced memory

modes:

Advanced ECC Mode—Provides memory protection beyond Standard ECC. All single-bit failures and

some multi-bit failures can be corrected without resulting in system downtime.

Online Spare Mode—Provides protection against failing or degraded DIMMs. Certain memory is set
aside as spare, and automatic failover to spare memory occurs when the system detects a degraded

DIMM. DIMMs that are likely to receive a fatal or uncorrectable memory error are removed from
operation automatically, resulting in less system downtime.

For DIMM population requirements, see the server-specific user guide.

Utilities and features

HP Smart Storage Administrator

HP SSA is a configuration and management tool for HP Smart Array controllers. Starting with HP ProLiant

Gen8 servers, HP SSA replaces ACU with an enhanced GUI and additional configuration features.
HP SSA exists in three interface formats: the HP SSA GUI, the HP SSA CLI, and HP SSA Scripting. Although

all formats provide support for configuration tasks, some of the advanced tasks are available in only one
format.
