System maintenance menu
The System Maintenance Menu is a new utility that replaces the legacy system-partition functionality
supported on some ProLiant servers. This utility is embedded in the system ROM and provides access to
server diagnostics, RBSU, and the Inspect Utility.
To access the System Maintenance Menu, press the F10 key when prompted from the boot option screen.
From the menu, you can select from the following utilities that are embedded in the system ROM:
•
The ROM-Based Setup Utility ("
configuration activities, including configuring system devices and selecting operating systems and
boot controllers.
•
The ROM-Based Inspect Utility enables you to view system configuration information and save the
information to a file on a diskette.
•
The ROM-Based Diagnostic Utility provides a preboot method for quickly checking the validity of the
three major sub-systems of the server (memory, CPU, and boot disk) needed to boot an operating
system.
For more information on the System Maintenance Menu, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User
Guide on the Documentation CD.
iLO ROM-Based Setup Utility
HP recommends using iLO RBSU to configure and set up iLO. iLO RBSU is designed to assist you with
setting up iLO on a network; it is not intended for continued administration.
To run iLO RBSU:
1.
Restart or power up the server.
2.
Press the F8 key when prompted during POST. The iLO RBSU runs.
3.
Enter a valid iLO user ID and password with the appropriate iLO privileges (Administer User
Accounts, Configure iLO Settings). Default account information is located on the iLO Default
Network Settings tag.
4.
Make and save any necessary changes to the iLO configuration.
5.
Exit iLO RBSU.
HP recommends using DNS/DHCP with iLO to simplify installation. If DNS/DHCP cannot be used, use the
following procedure to disable DNS/DHCP and to configure the IP address and the subnet mask:
1.
Restart or power up the server.
2.
Press the F8 key when prompted during POST. The iLO RBSU runs.
3.
Enter a valid iLO user ID and password with the appropriate iLO privileges (Administer User
Accounts, Configure iLO Settings). Default account information is located on the iLO Default
Network Settings tag.
4.
Select Network, DNS/DHCP, press the Enter key, and then select DHCP Enable. Press the
spacebar to turn off DHCP. Be sure that DHCP Enable is set to Off and save the changes.
5.
Select Network, NIC and TCP/IP, press the Enter key, and type the appropriate information in
the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address fields.
6.
Save the changes. The iLO system automatically resets to use the new setup when you exit iLO RBSU.
