Server Configuration and Utilities Safety and Security Benefits When the user flashes the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the backup ROM and saves the current ROM as a backup, enabling the user to switch easily to the existing ROM version if the new ROM becomes corrupted for any reason. This feature protects the previous ROM version, even if a power failure occurs while flashing the ROM. Access to Redundant ROM Settings Use ROMPaq utilities to create a backup ROM image before upgrading the configuration or to restore saved ROM data. To create a backup ROM image: 1. Access RBSU by pressing the F9 key when prompted at startup. 2. Select Redundant ROM in the Advanced Options menu of RBSU. 3. Select one of the ROM banks as the system ROM. 4. Press the Enter key. 5. Press the Esc key to exit the current menu or press the F10 key to exit RBSU. 6. Restart the server. When the server boots, the system identifies whether the current ROM bank is corrupt. If a corrupt ROM is detected, the system boots from the backup ROM and alerts the user through POST that the ROM bank is corrupt. Switching ROM images, in the event that the RBSU is inaccessible, can also be done by changing the switch settings on the system configuration switch. The server is first powered down and switches 1, 5 and 6 are set to ON. Power up the server, wait until the server stops beeping, and then power off. Set switches 1, 5 and 6 to OFF and then power on the server. Refer to Appendix E, "LEDs, Switches, and Jumpers," for additional information. Disaster Recovery If both the current and backup versions of the ROM are corrupt: 5-2 HP ProLiant DL320 Generation 2 Server Setup and Installation Guide
