Integrated Management Log
The IML records hundreds of events and stores them in an easy-to-view form. The IML timestamps each
event with 1-minute granularity.
You can view recorded events in the IML in several ways, including the following:
• From within HP SIM (" HP Systems Insight Manager " on page 45 )
• From within Survey Utility (on page 46 )
• From within operating system-specific IML viewers
• For NetWare: IML Viewer
• For Windows®: IML Viewer
• For Linux: IML Viewer Application
• From within the iLO 2 user interface
• From within HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 46 )
For more information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack.
ROMPaq disaster recovery
If the current version of the ROM is corrupt, perform ROMPaq disaster recovery procedures:
1. Create a ROMPaq diskette using the Autorun Menu on the SmartStart CD.
2. Power down the server (on page 16 ).
3. Insert the ROMPaq diskette.
4. Power up the server (on page 16 ).
a. The server generates one long beep and two short beeps to indicate that you are in disaster
recovery mode. If the diskette is not in place, the system continues to beep until a valid ROMPaq
diskette is inserted.
b. The ROMPaq diskette flashes the system ROM image. If successful, a sequence of ascending
audible beeps is generated. If unsuccessful, a sequence of descending audible beeps is
generated and you need to repeat the disaster recovery process.
5. Power down the server (on page 16 ).
6. Remove the ROMPaq diskette.
7. Power up the server (on page 16 ).
Keeping the system current
Drivers
The server includes new hardware that may not have driver support on all operating system installation
media.
If you are installing a SmartStart-supported operating system, use the SmartStart software (on page
38 )
and its Assisted Path feature to install the operating system and latest driver support.
NOTE: If you are installing drivers from the SmartStart CD, be sure that you are using the latest version of
SmartStart by visiting the SmartStart website ( http://www.hp.com/servers/smartstart ). For more information,
refer to the documentation provided with the SmartStart CD.
