Smart Components for Online ROM Flash

Online ROM flash technology consists of a combination of components that allow

system administrators to upgrade system or option ROM images across a wide range

of HP servers and server options while the server is running. The ROM upgrades are

performed locally or across a network from a single point of execution and are

flashed individually or grouped together to perform multiple ROM upgrades in a

single step.

HP Smart Components for ROM Flash include installation logic that automatically

checks for hardware, firmware, and operating system dependencies, installing only

the correct ROM upgrades required by each target server.

Advanced Data Guarding

As storage capacities continue to rapidly expand, disk drive fault protection becomes

more important. This fault protection needs to be implemented without doubling the

investment in disk drives or a new storage infrastructure. Currently, RAID 5 is only

recommended for protecting up to 14 disk drives in an array. RAID 1 provides

greater fault protection, but requires every drive to be mirrored, so it is often too

costly to implement on large RAID volumes.

With Advanced Data Guarding (RAID ADG), you can safely and economically

protect a RAID volume of up to 2 TB and a total of 56 disk drives. RAID ADG offers

fault protection greater than RAID 1 or RAID 5 and only consumes the capacity of

one additional disk drive for each distributed parity data drive.

RAID ADG is essentially an extension of RAID 5, which allows for additional fault

tolerance by using a second independent distributed parity scheme. Data is striped

across a set of drives, just as in RAID 5, and a second set of parity is calculated and

written across all the drives. RAID ADG provides for an extremely high data fault

tolerance and can sustain multiple simultaneous drive failures. This solution is very

important for protecting mission-critical data.

Only the Smart Array 5300 Controllers support RAID ADG. The Smart Array

5304/128 is shipped with RAID ADG and is available as an upgrade option for the
