Diagnostics and Troubleshooting 3-85 ROMPaq Disaster Recovery Use the following option for any server that does not have a valid ROM image: IMPORTANT: This operation should be performed on a server with redundant ROM ONLY IF both ROM images have been corrupted. If only one image is corrupted, read the following section, "Redundant ROM Image Recovery," for complete instructions. 1. Build a fresh ROMPaq diskette, using the latest version for the server involved. NOTE: If the ROM is corrupted by a ROMPaq interruption, the initial ROMPaq attempt may have affected the contents of the original diskette. 2. Turn off the server. 3. Set configuration switches 1, 4, 5, and 6 on the system maintenance switch block to ON to enable disaster recovery mode. Table 3-24 Configuration Switches Switch 1 4 5 6 Function Disable on-board video Disable diskette drive Disable password Clear NVRAM 4. Insert the ROMPaq diskette. Although you will use a normal ROMPaq diskette, this situation will not allow you to save the old image. 5. Turn on the server. The keyboard, mouse, and monitor are all inactive. The IMD is active, if the server has one. 6. The server makes two long beeps to indicate that you are in Disaster Recovery Mode and that you should insert the ROMPaq diskette. The IMD, if the server has one, displays: Please insert ROMPaq diskette. 7. The server reads the diskette for the latest ROM image. If the diskette is not in place, the system continues to beep until a valid ROMPaq diskette is inserted. NOTE: The IMD will display the "Please insert ROMPaq diskette" message even after a valid ROMPaq diskette has been installed. This is normal behavior. The server will stop beeping to indicate that the diskette is a valid ROMPaq diskette. 8. The ROMPaq diskette flashes the system ROM. During this process, the IMD displays: ROMPaq flashing system ROM. 9. At the successful completion of this process, the IMD displays: ROMPaq flash successful - Cycle Power. Or, if the flash is not successful, the IMD displays: ROMPaq flash failed.

ROMPaq Disaster Recovery
Use the following option for any server that does not have a valid ROM image:
IMPORTANT:
This operation should be performed on a server with redundant ROM
ONLY IF
both ROM
images have been corrupted. If only one image is corrupted, read the following section,
“
Redundant ROM
Image Recovery,
”
for complete instructions.
1.
Build a fresh ROMPaq diskette, using the latest version for the server involved.
NOTE:
If the ROM is corrupted by a ROMPaq interruption, the initial ROMPaq attempt may have affected
the contents of the original diskette.
2.
Turn off the server.
3.
Set configuration switches 1, 4, 5, and 6 on the system maintenance switch block to ON to
enable disaster recovery mode.
Table 3-24

6

4.
Insert the ROMPaq diskette. Although you will use a normal ROMPaq diskette, this
situation will not allow you to save the old image.
5.
Turn on the server. The keyboard, mouse, and monitor are all inactive. The IMD is active,
if the server has one.
6.
The server makes two long beeps to indicate that you are in Disaster Recovery Mode and
that you should insert the ROMPaq diskette. The IMD, if the server has one, displays:
Please insert ROMPaq diskette.
7.
The server reads the diskette for the latest ROM image. If the diskette is not in place, the
system continues to beep until a valid ROMPaq diskette is inserted.
NOTE:
The IMD will display the
“
Please insert ROMPaq diskette
”
message even after a valid ROMPaq
diskette has been installed. This is normal behavior. The server will stop beeping to indicate that the
diskette is a valid ROMPaq diskette.
8.
The ROMPaq diskette flashes the system ROM. During this process, the IMD displays:
ROMPaq flashing system ROM.
9.
At the successful completion of this process, the IMD displays:
ROMPaq flash successful - Cycle Power.
Or, if the flash is not successful, the IMD displays:
ROMPaq flash failed.
