HP ROM-Based Setup Utility - Manual (Page 209)

Boot Disk Test
The boot disk diagnostic test verifies the presence and readiness of a primary boot controller. If a
controller is present and ready, the test checks for a valid operating system boot sector.
To run the Boot Disk diagnostic test, select Boot Disk Test from the Diagnostics Utility menu.
Auto-Configuration Process
The auto-configuration process automatically runs when you boot the server for the first time. During
the power-up sequence, in many cases the system ROM automatically configures the entire system
without needing any intervention. During this process, the ORCA Utility, in most cases, automatically
configures the array with a default setting based on the number of drives connected to the server.
RAID level Drives used Drives installed
RAID 0 1 1
RAID 1 2 2
RAID 5 3, 4, 5, or 6 3, 4, 5, or 6
None 0 More than 6
NOTE: If the boot drive contains logical volumes, or if more than six drives are installed on the
system, ORCA does not automatically configure the array. If this occurs, you must run ORCA to
configure the array settings.
By default, the auto-configuration process configures the system for a default operating system. To
change any default settings in the auto-configuration process, such as the settings for language,
operating system, and primary boot controller, open the RBSU by pressing the F9 key after system
POST. After the settings are selected according to your preference, exit RBSU and reboot the server.
Intelligent Provisioning Quick Configs settings and corresponding RBSU
settings
Available for HP ProLiant Gen8 servers, Intelligent Provisioning Quick Configs options provide the
capability to select a basic policy for performance versus power usage, without having to configure
individual settings through RBSU menus.
The following tables show the three Intelligent Provisioning Quick Configs profiles and their
corresponding RBSU option settings.
