Codeload usage, Changing the ProLiant BIOS

Page 9 highlights

Codeload usage When a system with a maximum configuration is running at full capacity, it may experience a time-out condition before codeload is complete. HP recommends that you always upgrade the multipathing software at an off-peak time. Changing the ProLiant BIOS If you have a ProLiant server with four or more HBAs, you must change the MPS Table Mode setting in the BIOS; otherwise, your system may not detect all attached devices. To change the setting: 1. Press F1 to access the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) during power-on self-test (POST). This typically occurs after 5i Disk Array initialization. 2. Select System Options > OS Selection > Linux. 3. Select Advanced Options > MPS Table Mode. 4. Select Auto Set Table. 5. Press Esc twice, and then press F10 to save the configuration. 4000/6000/8000 Enterprise Virtual Array connectivity 5.1A for Linux release notes 9
