To access the Erase Utility, use the System Erase button on the home screen of the SmartStart CD ("SmartStart software" on page 73). StorageWorks library and tape tools HP StorageWorks L&TT provides functionality for firmware downloads, verification of device operation, maintenance procedures, failure analysis, corrective service actions, and some utility functions. It also provides seamless integration with HP hardware support by generating and emailing support tickets that deliver a snapshot of the storage system. For more information, and to download the utility, refer to the StorageWorks L&TT website (http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/ltt). HP Systems Insight Manager HP SIM is a web-based application that allows system administrators to accomplish normal administrative tasks from any remote location, using a web browser. HP SIM provides device management capabilities that consolidate and integrate management data from HP and third-party devices. IMPORTANT: You must install and use HP SIM to benefit from the Pre-Failure Warranty for processors, SAS and SATA hard drives, and memory modules. For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or the HP SIM website (http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim). Management Agents Management Agents provide the information to enable fault, performance, and configuration management. The agents allow easy manageability of the server through HP SIM software, and thirdparty SNMP management platforms. Management Agents are installed with every SmartStart assisted installation or can be installed through the HP PSP. The Systems Management homepage provides status and direct access to in-depth subsystem information by accessing data reported through the Management Agents. For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/manage). Redundant ROM support The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server has a 8-MB ROM that acts as two, separate 4-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one side of the ROM contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup version. NOTE: The server ships with the same version programmed on each side of the ROM. Safety and security benefits When you flash the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the backup ROM and saves the current ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the alternate ROM version if the new ROM becomes corrupted Server software and configuration utilities 80
