Configuring AMP modes
Not all ProLiant servers support all AMP modes. RBSU provides menu options only for the modes
supported by the server. Advanced memory protection within RBSU enables the following advanced
memory.
•
Advanced ECC Mode—Provides memory protection beyond Standard ECC. All single-bit failures
and some multi-bit failures can be corrected without resulting in system downtime.
•
Online Spare Mode—Provides protection against failing or degraded DIMMs. Certain memory is set
aside as spare, and automatic failover to spare memory occurs when the system detects a degraded
DIMM. DIMMs that are likely to receive a fatal/uncorrectable memory error are removed from
operation automatically, resulting in less system downtime.
See the server-specific user guide for DIMM population requirements.
•
Mirrored Memory Mode—Provides protection against uncorrectable memory errors that would
otherwise result in system failure. In this mode, the system maintains two copies of all data. If an
uncorrectable memory error occurs, the system automatically retrieves the good data from the
mirrored copy. The system continues to operate normally without any user intervention. If the system
supports hot-plug memory, the failed memory can be replaced while the system continues to operate.
•
RAID Memory Mode—Provides protection levels similar to Mirrored Memory Mode, and it requires
less memory allocation than full redundancy.
HP Insight Control server deployment (formerly RDP)
HP Insight Control is essential server management that unlocks the management capabilities built into HP
ProLiant servers. Insight Control delivers powerful capabilities that enable customers to proactively
manage ProLiant server health - whether physical or virtual, deploy ProLiant servers quickly, optimize
power consumption, and control ProLiant servers from anywhere.
HP Insight Control server deployment is a key component of Insight Control which provides an automated,
simple-to-use solution for bare-metal deployment and configuration of HP ProLiant servers with an
operating system or virtualization platform. Insight Control server deployment includes an unaltered Altiris
Deployment Solution while providing optimization for deployment of HP ProLiant servers using HP ProLiant
Integration Module.
HP Insight Control facilitates the installation, configuration, and deployment of high-volumes of servers
through an intuitive, comprehensive console, using either scripting or imaging technology. It makes
deploying a server as easy as selecting one, a few, or hundreds of target servers, selecting predefined
images or scripts, and clicking Run.
