Diagnostic Tools Management Agents The server is equipped with the latest Management Agents, allowing easy manageability of the server through Insight Manager 7 software, and third-party SNMP management platforms. Management agents monitor key subsystems that are instrumental in making health, configuration, and performance data available to the agent software. The agents act upon that data by initiating alarms in the event of faults. The agents also provide updated management information, such as network interface or subsystem performance statistics, to the management systems. For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or refer to the HP website (www.hp.com/servers/manage). Option ROM Configuration for Arrays Before installing an operating system, you can use the ORCA utility to create the first logical drive, assign RAID levels, and establish online spare configurations. The utility provides support for the following functions: • Configuring one or more logical drives using physical drives on one or more SCSI buses • Viewing the current logical drive configuration • Deleting a logical drive configuration If you do not use the utility, ORCA will default to the standard configuration. For more information about array controller configuration, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD. Power-On Self-Test POST is a series of diagnostic tests that checks firmware and assemblies to ensure that the server is functioning properly. This utility runs automatically every time the server is powered up. For the normal power-up sequence and diagnosis of problems encountered during POST, refer to the setup and installation guide. ROM-Based Setup Utility RBSU performs a wide range of configuration activities, including the following: • Configuring server devices and installed options • Viewing server information • Selecting the operating system • Selecting the primary boot controller HP ProLiant ML330 Generation 3 Server Maintenance and Service Guide 3-3
