Erase Utility
CAUTION:
Perform a backup before running the System Erase Utility. The utility sets the system
to its original factory state, deletes the current hardware configuration information, including
array setup and disk partitioning, and erases all connected hard drives completely. Refer to the
instructions for using this utility.
Run the Erase Utility if you must erase the system for the following reasons:
•
You want to install a new operating system on a workstation blade with an existing operating system.
•
You encounter an error when completing the steps of a factory-installed operating system installation.
To access the Erase Utility, use the System Erase button on the home screen of the SmartStart CD.
StorageWorks library and tape tools
HP StorageWorks L&TT provides functionality for firmware downloads, verification of device operation,
maintenance procedures, failure analysis, corrective service actions, and some utility functions. It also
provides seamless integration with HP hardware support by generating and emailing support tickets that
deliver a snapshot of the storage system.
For more information, and to download the utility, refer to the StorageWorks L&TT website
HP Systems Insight Manager
HP SIM is a web-based application that allows system administrators to accomplish normal administrative
tasks from any remote location, using a web browser. HP SIM provides device management capabilities that
consolidate and integrate management data from HP and third-party devices.
IMPORTANT:
You must install and use HP SIM to benefit from the Pre-Failure Warranty for
processors, SAS and SATA hard drives, and memory modules.
For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or the
HP SIM website
Management Agents
Management Agents provide the information to enable fault, performance, and configuration management.
The agents allow easy manageability of the server through HP SIM software, and third-party SNMP
management platforms. Management Agents are installed with every SmartStart assisted installation or can
be installed through the HP PSP. The Systems Management homepage provides status and direct access to
in-depth subsystem information by accessing data reported through the Management Agents. For additional
information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or the HP website
Redundant ROM support
The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server has
an 8-MB ROM that acts as two, separate 4-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one side of the ROM
contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup version.
