Installing Memory DIMMs
Your HP Integrity rx4640 comes with a 16 DIMM memory extender board that is minimally configured with
1GB of memory (four 256 Mb DIMMs loaded in quad 0 [slots 0A, 0B, 0C, and 0D]). See Figure 4-9 for the slot
locations on the 16 DIMM memory extender board.
An optional 32 DIMM memory extender board is available to replace the 16 DIMM memory extender board
and must also be minimally configured with 1 GB in quad 0. See Figure 4-10 for the slot locations on the 32
DIMM memory extender board.
You may insert additional DIMMs into both 16 and 32 DIMM boards. When adding DIMMs, you must use a
minimum of four like sized DIMMs in the next available quad. DIMMs must be loaded in quads with qualified
modules. Memory is protected by data ECC, and the hardware implementation supports chip-spare.
Supported DIMM Sizes
Supported DIMM sizes are 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB. Dissimilar DIMM sizes may be used across
the entire extender board but all four DIMMs in each quad must match. For cooling purposes, DIMM fillers
must be used in some unused slots.
DIMM Slot Fillers
Both the 16 and 32 DIMM extender boards have DIMM slot filler boards placed over all unfilled DIMM slots.
As you fill DIMM quads with additional memory you must remove the DIMM slot fillers covering the affected
slots. All remaining DIMM fillers in unused slots must remain in place to maximize internal cooling. See
Table 4-2 and Table 4-4 for slot filler requirements for the 16 and 32 DIMM memory extender boards.
NOTE One DIMM filler board covers two adjacent DIMM slots. As a general rule, only remove DIMM
slot fillers as you add memory and the correct configuration will always remain.
Installing DIMMs
To install DIMMs, follow these steps:
Step 1. Align the DIMM with the socket located on the memory extender board.
Step 2. Gently and evenly push on each side of the DIMM until it seats in the socket. Ensure that the
extraction levers are in the closed position. Repeat as needed until all additional DIMMs are
installed.

Removing and Replacing Hot-Swap Chassis Fans
There are three hot-swap chassis fan units in the HP server. Fan units 0, 1, and 2 are in the center of the
chassis, spanning the full chassis width. Fan units 0 and 1 are interchangeable and are in the left and center
positions. Fan unit 2 is smaller and only fits into the right-most position (behind the power supply).
CAUTION Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD
safety precautions could result in damage to the server.
CAUTION When the server is running, the top cover must be replaced within two minutes to prevent
components from overheating. If the top metal cover is not replaced within five minutes, the
server automatically shuts down.
NOTE A hot-swap device does not require interaction with the operating system before the device is
removed from or installed into the server.
The ac power to the server does not have to be off to remove or replace a hot-swap chassis fan.
Removing a Hot-Swap Chassis Fan Unit
To remove a hot-swap chassis fan unit, follow these steps:
Step 1. If rack mounted, slide the HP server out from the rack until it stops. See “Extending the Server

Removing and Replacing Hot-Plug PCI-X Cards
71
Removing and Replacing Hot-Plug PCI-X Cards
The HP Integrity rx4640 server supports PCI-X hot-plug technology and offers six PCI-X, hot-plug capable
slots.
CAUTION There are restrictions on the number of PCI-X cards that can be installed in the rx4640 server
at any given time, depending on the cards being used.
Maximum quantity for any I/O configuration using 337972-B21, AB287A, or A9890A cards:
• Three 337972-B21 cards maximum plus three unpopulated slots
• Two AB287A cards maximum plus four unpopulated slots
• Three A9890A cards maximum plus three unpopulated slots
Failure to observe this caution will result in server degradation, or server failure.
PCI-X Specifications
PCI-X technology enables the following hot-plug operations. For procedures with step-by-step instructions
describing how to add, replace, delete, and locate PCI-X cards see “Hot-Plug Operation Procedures” on
page 77.
•Online Addition (OL-A)
You can install new PCI-X expansion cards in previously empty slots without powering down the server.
•Online Replacement (OL-R)
You can replace a previously occupied slot with a new PCI-X expansion card by suspending the driver.
This operation combines removing an active card and replacing it with an equivalent capability card. The
existing driver for the old card must be compatible with the new card.
CAUTION A special OL-R requirement for HP-UX 11i v2 is that the card to be inserted (replaced)
must be exactly the same as the removed card. This is also known as like-for-like
replacement.
NOTE Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition does not support OL-R. Instead, you can do a
combination of an OL-D operation followed by an OL-A operation. This is the equivalent of
an OL-R operation.
•Online Deletion (OL-D)
You can remove an existing PCI-X expansion card. This operation is different from OL-R because there
are no restrictions placed on the type of replacement card that you can use. In this operation, the drivers
are also completely removed from the slot.
NOTE HP-UX 11i v2 does not support OL-D. It does support OL-R.
•PCI-X Slot Locate (Locate)
Chapter 4
Removing and Replacing Components
Removing and Replacing Hot-Plug PCI-X Cards
72
To easily locate the PCI-X slot at which you wish to perform a hot-plug operation, you can command the
attention LEDs, on the OLX divider and the I/O baseboard, to blink and act as visual cues to the active slot
location. This operation is always initiated through a software or web interface and is optional to the
operating system on your HP server.
Operating System Support for Hot-Plug PCI-X Operations
The capability of each operating system to support hot-plug PCI-X operations is different. The following
explanation details the capabilities of each operating system.
NOTE Open VMS does not support hot-plug PCI-X operations.
•HP-UX 11i v2
HP-UX 11i v2 supports only OL-A, OL-R, and Locate hot-plug PCI-X operations.
In OL-R, it is a requirement that the card to be inserted (replaced) be exactly the same as the card being
removed. During this OL-R operation, HP-UX 11i v2 suspends the device driver and re-enables it upon
completion of the OL-R operation.
In HP-UX 11i v2, the Locate function is only available through the command line or web interface.
•Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition supports only OL-A and OL-D hot-plug PCI-X operations.
In OL-D, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition will delete the device object, after the card’s successful
removal from the slot. You do not have to re-install drivers for the deleted device on subsequent insertions
or reboots
To perform a card replacement hot-plug PCI-X operation in Windows Server 2003, you must first perform
an OL-D operation followed by an OL-A operation.
•Linux Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1
At this time Linux RHEL4 U3 does not support hot-plug PCI-X technology.
Table 4-6 shows hot-plug operations that are available in HP-UX 11i v2, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise
Edition, and Linux Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 operating systems.

PCI-X Slot Locations and Configurations
PCI-X slots are numbered from 1 through 8 in your HP server. Figure 4-25 shows the slot locations on the I/O
baseboard.
The following describes configuration requirements for slots 1 through 8 (see Table 4-8 for configuration
requirements):
• PCI slots 1 and 2 are dedicated for use by the core I/O cards—SCSI HBA card in slot 1 and Gigabit
Ethernet LAN card in slot 2. Slots 1 and 2 are not hot-plug capable. Additional PCI-X expansion cards
may not be placed in slots 1 or 2.
• Slots 3 and 4 share a PCI-X bus, and slots 5 and 6 share a PCI-X bus. The maximum capability of each
slot sharing a PCI-X bus is PCI-X 66 MHz. If a PCI-X 133 MHz card is placed in a slot sharing a bus, the
maximum capability the PCI-X 133 MHz card can run at is PCI-X 66 MHz. If different modes (PCI vs.
PCI-X) or slower speeds (33 MHz) are used, then the slot automatically downgrades to accept the change.
Shared slots have card compatibility restrictions. If one of the shared slots is occupied then the card being
added to the second slot is limited by the configuration of the occupied slot. If the new card has a slower
capability than the current bus configuration, it will be rejected. If the new card has a faster capability
than the current bus configuration, it will only run at the bus mode and frequency of the current bus
configuration (slower).
1. If you have a 66 MHz card in slot 3, and you hot-plug insert a 33 Mhz card into slot 4, then the
operation will not succeed. The new 33 MHz card will not initialize and the slot will power down
because you cannot change bus speed during hot-plug operations.
NOTE If the server is rebooted in the new configuration, then both cards re-initialize to run at
33 MHz. This is because the server firmware can only change the bus capability from
66 MHz down to 33 MHz.
2. If you have a 33 MHz card in slot 3, and you hot-plug insert a 66 Mhz card into slot 4, it will work but
the new card will run at 33 MHz. This also applies to slots 5 and 6, as they are shared (both use a
common bus).
3. If your unit is powered down and you insert a 33 MHz card into slot 4 (that shares a 66 MHz card in
slot 3), then both cards will run at 33 MHz when the unit is powered up. This also applies to slots 5
and 6, as they are shared (both use a common bus).
Web Interface Yes- pdweb command.

• Slots 7 and 8 are single slots, they do not share a PCI-X bus. The maximum capability of each slot is
PCI-X 133 MHz. Only slots 7 and 8 allow 133 Mhz, PCI-X cards to run at full speed. These two slots are
not limited by bus mode frequency related incompatibilities.
CAUTION If you are using Linux Red Hat Enterprise Advanced Server 4 Update 3 operating system and
you want to install a 1000b-Sx GigE card, do not install it into a slot that shares a bus with a 33
MHz card. In this configuration the Linux driver will not initialize the new card.

Hot-Plug Operation Procedures
The hot-plug procedures described in this section will use the hardware interface only. Software interface
procedures are described in Table 4-7, “Hot-Plug Hardware and Software Interfaces and OS Availability.” For
a complete understanding of all HP-UX 11i v2 hot-plug techniques and concepts, it is recommended that you
see the Interface Card OL* Support for HP-UX Servers and Workstations on the HP website at:
http://docs.hp.com.
CAUTION Before adding or replacing a PCI-X card, determine if that card is critical to your servers
operation. If you replace a card that is still operating and it is a critical resource to your server,
you may cause undesired server downtime. Read Interface Card OL* Support for HP-UX
Servers and Workstations, Critical Resources at http://docs.hp.com, prior to performing a
hot-plug operation.
Online Addition-(OL-A)
Before installing a PCI-X card, ensure that the proper drivers for that PCI-X card are installed.
To add a PCI-X card into an empty slot, follow these steps:
Step 1. If rack mounted, slide the HP server out from the rack until it stops. See “Extending the Server
from the Rack” on page 39.
Step 2. Remove the top cover from the chassis. See “Removing the Top Cover” on page 43.
Step 3. If the power LED is steady-on (power to slot is on), go to step 4. If the power LED is steady-off
(power to slot is off), go to step 5.
Step 4. To turn off power to the slot, pull up on the manual retention latch (MRL) located on the OLX
divider. The power LED goes to steady-off. Figure 4-26 shows the layout of the card divider.
CAUTION Do not pull up on the MRL of a powered-on, occupied slot or your server will crash.
This OL-A procedure is for powering down a powered-on, unoccupied slot only. For a
detailed procedure on how to power down an occupied slot see “Online
Replacement-(OL-R)” or “Online Deletion (OL-D)”.
Step 5. Ensure that the MRL is already open and insert the PCI-X card to be added into the powered down
slot. Figure 4-27 shows how to correctly install a PCI-X card.
CAUTION When inserting the PCI-X card, be careful you do not accidentally touch an attention
button on the other OLX dividers—this will initiate an undesired shutdown of
another PCI-X card/slot.
Also, ensure that you fully seat the card into the slot or undesired results may occur
after power is re-applied to the slot.
Step 6. Push the manual retention latch down until it seats against the chassis wall.
Step 7. Turn the PCI-X card lock to the closed position to capture the PCI-X card and manual retention
latch into the closed position.
Step 8. Press the attention button and the power LED starts to blink. Wait until the power LED goes from
blinking to steady-on.

Removing and Replacing OLX Dividers
OLX dividers are located on the I/O baseboard, between the PCI cards. Six OLX dividers provide short circuit
protection to the hot-plug PCI accessory boards by preventing inadvertent contact between boards during the
replacement or addition of a board.
Additionally, each OLX divider has two light pipes that transfer illumination from one green power LED and
one amber attention LED, mounted on the I/O board, to the top of the divider. The light pipes allow the LED
status to be easily viewed when the top cover is removed.
WARNING Ensure that the server is powered down and all power sources have been
disconnected from the server prior to removing or replacing a PCI card divider.
Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an ac power
source is connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in
the off position.
Failure to observe this warning could result in personal injury or damage to
equipment.
CAUTION Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD
safety precautions could result in damage to the server.

Troubleshooting Tips
WARNING Before removing a cover to service components that cannot be hot-swapped, always
disconnect the ac power cords and unplug telephone cables. Disconnect telephone
cables to avoid exposure to shock hazard from telephone ringing voltages.
Disconnect the ac power cords to avoid exposure to high energy levels that may
cause burns when parts are short-circuited by metal objects such as tools or jewelry.
CAUTION Do not operate the HP server for more than two minutes with any cover (including power
supplies and disk drives) removed. Otherwise, damage to server components may result due to
improper cooling airflow.
However, you can safely remove a cover while the HP server is running to remove and replace
PCI hot-plug boards. For any other service activity requiring access to the I/O baseboard or
power distribution board, power-down the HP server and observe all safety precautions.
Troubleshooting Methodology
Step 1. This is the entry point to the troubleshooting process. Here, you pick from a set of symptoms,
ranging from very simple (server LED is blinking) to the most difficult (Machine Check Abort
[MCA]) has occurred. The following is a list of symptom examples:
• Server LED blinking
• System Alert present on console
• Server will not power-up
• Server will not boot
• Event/Error Message received
• Machine Check Abort (MCA)
Step 2. This step narrows down the observed problem to the specific troubleshooting procedure required.
Here you isolate the failure to a specific part of the server so that you can perform more detailed
troubleshooting. For example:
• Problem-Server LED blinking
— System Alert on console?
— Analyze the alert by using the system event log (SEL) to identify the last error logged by
the baseboard management controller. Use the iLO MP commands to view the SEL.
Step 3. At this point you will have a good idea about which area of the server requires further analysis. For
example, if the symptom was “server will not power-up” then the initial troubleshooting procedure
may have indicated a problem with the dc power supply not coming up after the power switch was
turned on.
Chapter 5
Troubleshooting
Possible Problems
113
Step 4. You have now reached the point where the failed Field Replaceable Unit (FRU or FRUs) have been
identified and need to be replaced. You must now perform the specific remove-and-replace
verification steps.
NOTE If multiple FRUs are identified as part of the solution, a fix cannot be guaranteed
unless all identified failed FRUs are replaced.
Step 5. There may be specific recovery procedures you need to perform to finish the repair. For example, if
the display panel is replaced, you need to restore customer-specific information.
Possible Problems
This section contains example HP server problems and their possible solutions.
The Server Does Not Power On
Step 1. Check to see if the iLO MP is working. If so, access the SEL to determine the problem.
Step 2. Check all power connection cables.
Step 3. Verify that 200-240 VAC power is available at the ac power receptacle. Check the receptacle output
with another device.
Step 4. Check the power supply fans to see if they are operating. The fans will operate off the dc voltage
generated by the power supply.
Step 5. Check that the Power LED on Front Control Panel is illuminated. See“Front Control Panel LED
Indicators” on page 117.
Step 6. Check all connections from the power supply to the power distribution module.
Step 7. Verify that all cables and modules are correctly connected. Especially check the display panel
connection.
Step 8. Review the installation procedures for the server. See the HP Integrity rx4640 Installation Guide.
Step 9. If the server starts to power-on and then power-off, a voltage rail of the power supply may be out of
specification. The BMC monitors voltages and prevents power-on when power values are out of
specification.
The Server Does Not Boot
Step 1. Examine the front panel LEDs for warning or fault indications. The server LED will be flashing
yellow with a warning indication and flashing red with a fault indication. See “Front Control Panel
LED Indicators” on page 117.
Step 2. Examine the QuickFind Diagnostic Panel for indications of specific warning or fault indications.
The diagnostic LEDs present patterns that categorize the source of the warning or fault. See
“QuickFind Diagnostic Panel LED Indicators” on page 119.
Chapter 5
Troubleshooting
Possible Problems
114
Step 3. Display and examine the system event log (SEL) and forward progress log (FPL) for further
information relating to warning or fault isolation.
Step 4. Review the firmware revisions of all firmware.
NOTE If the server does not boot to EFI, the only way to check firmware revisions is with
the iLO MP SR command. However, the result may not be accurate because the
versions it displays are updated by system firmware during the boot to EFI. If the
system firmware does not boot to the point where it updates iLO MP firmware
version, the versions displayed by the SR command may not be correct.
Step 5. Use the iLO MP command to cycle the server power: pc off, pc on, or pc -cycle.
Step 6. Turn the server off, wait at least twenty seconds, then turn the server back on to see if the failure
can be cleared.
Step 7. Check that all DIMMs are seated properly.
Step 8. Check that the DIMM configuration on the I/O baseboard matches those approved. A minimum of
one DIMM pair must be installed.
Step 9. Verify that the DIMMs are fully seated. When the DIMM is fully seated in the mating connector,
the retaining latches are closed (they should be flush with the front of the DIMM). If the latches are
not closed, reseat the DIMM fully by engaging the retaining latches and closing them fully.
Step 10. Check that the processors are installed in the correct sockets on the processor extender board. See
Figure 4-13 on page 56 for the correct processor load order.
Step 11. Verify the processors are of the same type.
Step 12. Check the boot order with the SCSI configuration utility.
Step 13. Check the switch settings on the I/O baseboard. They should match Figure 4-24 on page 69.
Step 14. If there are no obvious errors, reflash the BMC firmware. (See Appendix C, “Utilities,” on page 161.)
Step 15. If the server will still not boot, it may be necessary to replace the base unit.
The Server Has Intermittent Failures
Step 1. Examine the front panel LEDs for warning or fault indications. The server LED flashes yellow with
a warning indication and flashes red with a fault indication. See “Front Control Panel LED
Indicators” on page 117.
Step 2. Examine the QuickFind Diagnostic Panel for indications of specific warning or fault indications.
The diagnostic LEDs present patterns that categorize the source of the warning or fault. See
“QuickFind Diagnostic Panel LED Indicators” on page 119.
Step 3. Display and examine the errdump logs for further information relating to warning or fault
indications.
Step 4. Display and examine the system event log (SEL) and forward progress log (FPL) for further
information relating to warning or fault indications.
Step 5. Make sure that the server fan assemblies are fully seated.
Chapter 5
Troubleshooting
Possible Problems
115
Step 6. Verify that the server is plugged into a power source that is within specifications described on the
label of the power supply.
Step 7. Make sure that the internal SCSI chain is terminated and that termination is not enabled on any of
the drives. Note that LVD SCSI termination is provided on the cable.
Step 8. Check that the processors are installed in the correct sockets and that terminators are installed in
all unused sockets.
Step 9. Reset the main memory DIMMs.
Step 10. If date and time or customer settings are being cleared, the I/O baseboard battery may need to be
replaced.
The Server LED or Diagnostic LEDs Are Not On and No Error Messages Appear
If the server does not work (with no LEDs illuminated) and no error messages appearing, check the following:
Step 1. Make sure that all cables and the ac power cord are plugged into their proper receptacles.
Step 2. Make sure that the ac outlet is working. If the server is plugged into a switched multiple-outlet box,
make sure that the switch on the outlet box is turned on.
Step 3. Make sure that the server is turned on (the power-on light should be green and the fans should be
on).
Step 4. Turn the server off, wait at least twenty seconds, then turn the server back on to see if the failure
can be cleared.
Step 5. Make sure that all boards are installed properly and the processors are installed in the correct slot.
They must be seated firmly in their slots and any cables must be connected firmly.
Step 6. If the server stopped working after you installed a new board, remove the board and turn on the
server. If your server now works, check the installation instructions received with the new board
for correct installation method. If the new board is preventing the server from powering on, it is
likely to have a serious electrical problem.
Step 7. If the server still does not work, remove all boards and options that you have installed (do not
remove the hard disk drives) and turn on the server.
Step 8. Add boards and options one at a time to determine which one is causing the problem.
Step 9. If you have added any memory, make sure that the DIMMs are seated properly in the board. Also
check the DIMM configuration, and that the DIMMs are matched pairs.
Power Shuts Off and Does Not Come Back On
When certain critical conditions exist, the server shuts down all power.
The critical conditions that may shut down the server are:
• Critical temperature fluctuations or changes
• Voltage problems (external ac line, internal dc rails))
• Power supply failure (if only one power supply is installed in the server)
• More than one fan has failed
If the server powers-off, and before you try a restart, do the following:

Step 1. Examine the front panel LEDs for warning or fault indications. The server LED flashes yellow with
a warning indication and flashes red with a fault indication. See “Front Control Panel LED
Indicators” on page 117.
Step 2. Examine the QuickFind Diagnostic Panel for indications of specific warning or fault indications.
The diagnostic LEDs present patterns that categorize the source of the warning or fault. See
“QuickFind Diagnostic Panel LED Indicators” on page 119.
Step 3. Check to make sure power is getting to the server. Plug a known working device into the power
outlet.
Step 4. Check for proper ventilation for the server. The server should have at least three inches of space
around the front and rear for proper airflow when installed in a rack.
NOTE Temperature problems may be caused by a fluctuating power supply.
Step 5. Check the server specifications and make sure the environmental temperature and voltage are in
the specified guidelines.
Step 6. Monitor the server to make sure you are not experiencing further temperature and voltage
problems.
Step 7. Check the SEL for the event that caused the BMC to shut the server off.

PCI-X LEDs and Hardware Errors
The following table describes the hot-plug PCI-X LED error conditions.
Troubleshooting PCI-X Hot-Plug Operations
Sometimes a PCI-X card will not come online during a hot-plug operation due to a frequency mismatch
between the PCI-X card and the slot bus or due to other hardware errors. To determine the type of error you
are experiencing, observe the LED activity as described below. For a full understanding and description of
HP-UX 11i v2 hardware errors, read Interface Card OL* Support for HP-UX Servers and Workstations,
Important Considerations at http://docs.hp.com.
1. PCI-X Bus Mode or Frequency Mismatch
After you insert a PCI-X card into the slot and push the attention button, the power LED goes from
blinking to steady-off and stays at steady-off; this means that the server firmware has rejected the PCI-X
card, and indicates either bus frequency or bus mode mismatch.
NOTE After pushing the attention button, ensure that you wait the full duration of the 5 second
operation cancellation window before taking further action.
2. Hardware Operation Fault
If the PCI-X card cannot be powered on during a hot-plug addition operation, the attention LED turns
steady-on and the power LED turns steady-off.
CAUTION If your card does not power up, the power loss may be due to the existing PCI-X expansion
cards using all the available power. Check the power ratings of your existing PCI-X cards.
A known cause of power loss is the use of more than 3 RAID cards in your server.

127
If the PCI-X card cannot be powered off during a hot-plug removal operation, the attention button turns
steady-on and the power LED remains steady-on.
CAUTION If your slot does not power off during a hot-plug removal operation, do not open the manual
retention latch (MRL) on the OLX divider. This action may cause a server failure or an
operating system crash.

Diagnostics
128
Diagnostics
A suite of offline and online support tools are available to enable manufacturing, field support personnel, and
you to troubleshoot server problems. In general, if the operating system (HP-UX) is already running, it is best
not to shut it down. Use the online support tools.
If the OS cannot be booted, use the offline support tools to resolve the problem. The offline support tools are
available from the EFI partition. Once you resolve the problem preventing booting, boot HP-UX, and use the
online support tools for any further testing.
If it is not possible to reach the EFI from either the main disk or from LAN, you must troubleshoot, using the
visual fault indicators, console messages, and system error logs that are available.
Online Diagnostics/Exercisers
Online support tools are provided under both operating systems. Centralized error archiving and hardware
inventory tools for both OSes are available as long as the agents/providers that support them are installed on
the managed server.
On HP-UX systems, the legacy tools within OnlineDiag continue to be supported. The online support tools, on
HP-UX 11.23 and greater, include the Support Tool Manager (STM) tools, and the additional Web-Based
Enterprise Management (WBEM) features added by SysFaultMgmt.
The STM suite of tools includes verifiers, diagnostics, exercisers, information modules, and expert tools.
Verifiers quickly determine whether or not a specific device is operational by performing tasks similar in
nature to the way applications use the device. No license is required to run the verifiers.
Diagnostics are tools designed to identify faulty or failed FRUs.
Exercisers stress devices in order to facilitate the reproduction of intermittent problems.
Information modules create a log of information specific to one device, including:
• The product identifier
• A description of the device
• The hardware path to the device
• The vendor
• Onboard log information (if applicable)
• Miscellaneous information associated with the device
• The firmware revision code, if firmware is present in the device, is also displayed
Expert tools are device-specific troubleshooting utilities for use by sophisticated users. Their functionality
varies from tool to tool, but they are intended to be interactive, and rely on users to provide information
necessary to perform a particular task. These tools require users to have the appropriate license, if they wish
to run them.
Online Support Tool Availability
Online diagnostics are included in the HP-UX OE media, and are installed by default.

Online Support Tools List
The following online support tools are available on HP-UX 11.23 hosted servers. In some cases, a tool, such as
a disk exerciser, is generic to many types of hardware; in other cases, a tool, such as a tape diagnostic, is
specific to a particular technology or type of tape drive.
Offline Support Tool Availability
Updates to the EFI HP service partition (HPSP) are available through the CD Installer option on the IPF
Offline Diagnostics and Utilities CD. At a minimum, an ISO image of the IPF Offline Diagnostics and
Utilities CD is available from the HP website.

General Diagnostic Tools
The following tools are currently available for support on other HP 9000 and Integrity server platforms. The
distribution method is through the HP website.
Fault Management Overview
The goal of fault management and monitoring is to increase server availability, by moving from a reactive
fault detection, diagnosis, and repair strategy to a proactive fault detection, diagnosis, and repair strategy.
The objectives are:
• To detect problems automatically, as close as possible to the time of occurrence.
• To diagnose problems automatically, at the time of detection.
• To automatically report (in understandable text) a description of the problem, the likely cause(s) of the
problem, the recommended action(s) to resolve the problem, and detailed information about the problem.
• To ensure that tools are available to repair or recover from the fault.
HP-UX Fault Management
Proactive fault prediction and notification is provided on HP-UX by SysFaultMgmt WBEM indication
providers, as well as by the Event Management Service (EMS). The Event Management Service and WBEM
provide frameworks for monitoring and reporting events.
SysFaultMgmt WBEM indication providers and the EMS Hardware Monitors allow users to monitor the
operation of a wide variety of hardware products, and alert them immediately if any failure or other unusual
event occurs. By using hardware event monitoring, users can virtually eliminate undetected hardware
failures that could interrupt server operation or cause data loss.
Complete information on installing and using EMS hardware event monitors, as well as a list of supported
hardware, can be found in the EMS Hardware Monitors Users Guide. An electronic copy of this book is
available on the HP website at:

Configuring System Boot Options
This section discusses the system boot options you can configure on entry-class HP Integrity servers,
including the boot options list and the autoboot setting for the server.
•Boot Options List
The boot options list is a list of loadable items available for you to choose from the EFI Boot Manager
menu. Ordinarily the boot options list includes the EFI Shell and one or more operating system loaders.
The following example includes boot options for HP OpenVMS, Microsoft Windows, HP-UX, and the EFI
Shell. The final item in the EFI Boot Manager menu, the Boot Configuration menu, is not a boot option.
The Boot Configuration menu allows server configuration through a maintenance menu.
EFI Boot Manager ver 1.10 [14.61] Please select a boot option
HP OpenVMS 8.2-1
EFI Shell [Built-in]
Windows Server 2003, Enterprise
HP-UX Primary Boot: 4/0/1/1/0.2.0
Boot Option Maintenance Menu
Use ^ and v to change option(s). Use Enter to select an option
NOTE In some versions of EFI, the Boot Configuration Menu is listed as the Boot Option Maintenance
Menu.
To manage the boot options list for each server, use the EFI Shell, the EFI Boot Configuration Menu, or
operating system utilities.
Booting the Operating System
Booting and Shutting Down HP-UX
Appendix B 143
At the EFI Shell, the bcfg command supports listing and managing the boot options list for all operating
systems, except Microsoft Windows. On HP Integrity servers with Windows installed, the
\MSUtil\nvrboot.efi utility is provided for managing Windows boot options from the EFI Shell. For HP
Integrity servers with OpenVMS installed, the \efi\vms\vms_bcfg.efi and \efi\vms\vms_show
utilities are provided for managing OpenVMS boot options.
The EFI Boot Configuration Menu provides the Add a Boot Option, Delete Boot Option(s), and Change Boot
Order menu items (use this method if you must add an EFI Shell entry to the boot options list).
Operating system utilities for managing the boot options list include the HP-UX setboot command and
the HP OpenVMS @SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS.COM command.
For details, see the following sections:
— Setting HP-UX boot options (see “Adding HP-UX to the Boot Options List” on page 144)
— Setting OpenVMS boot options (see “Adding HP OpenVMS to the Boot Options List” on page 149)
— Setting Windows boot options (see “Adding Microsoft Windows to the Boot Options List” on page 153)
— Setting Linux boot options (see “Adding Linux to the Boot Options List” on page 157)
•Autoboot Setting
The autoboot setting determines, at startup, whether a server automatically loads the first item in the
boot options list, or remains at the EFI Boot Manager menu. When autoboot is enabled, EFI loads the
first item in the boot options list after a designated timeout period.
Configure the autoboot setting for an HP Integrity server using either the autoboot EFI Shell command,
or the Set Auto Boot TimeOut menu item from the EFI Boot Configuration menu.
For example, from the EFI Shell to disable autoboot issue the autoboot off command. To enable

Adding HP-UX to the Boot Options List
This section describes how to add an HP-UX entry to the system boot options list.
You can add the \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI loader to the boot options list from the EFI Shell or EFI Boot
Configuration menu (or in some versions of EFI, the Boot Option Maintenance Menu).
NOTE On HP Integrity servers, the operating system installer automatically adds an entry to the boot
options list.
Adding an HP-UX Boot Option
This procedure adds an HP-UX item to the boot options list from the EFI Shell.
To add an HP-UX boot option when logged in to HP-UX, use the setboot command. For details see
the setboot (1M) manpage.
Step 1. Access the EFI Shell environment.
Log in to the iLO MP and enter CO to access the server console.
When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI
menu). If you are at another EFI menu, choose the Exit option from the submenus until you return
to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell
environment.
Step 2. Access the EFI System Partition (fs
X
: where
X
is the file system number) for the device from which
you want to boot HP-UX.
For example, enter fs2: to access the EFI System Partition for the bootable file system number 2.
The EFI Shell prompt changes to reflect the file system currently accessed.
The full path for the HP-UX loader is \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI and it should be on the device you are
accessing.
Step 3. At the EFI Shell environment, use the bcfg command to manage the boot options list.
The bcfg command includes the following options for managing the boot options list:
•bcfg boot dump — Display all items in the boot options list for the server.
•bcfg boot rm
#
— Remove the item number specified by
#
from the boot options list.
•bcfg boot mv
#a
#b
— Move the item number specified by
#a
to the position specified by
#b
in the boot options list.
•bcfg boot add
#
file.efi
"
Description
" — Add a new boot option to the position in the
boot options list specified by
#
. The new boot option references
file.efi
and is listed with the
title specified by
Description
.
For example, bcfg boot add 1 \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI "HP-UX 11i" adds an HP-UX 11i item
as the first entry in the boot options list.
See the help bcfg command for details.
Step 4. Exit the console and iLO MP interfaces if you are finished using them.

Shutting Down Microsoft Windows
Shut down the Windows operating system on HP Integrity servers by using the Start menu or the shutdown
command.
CAUTION Do not shut down Windows using Special Administration Console (SAC) restart or shutdown
commands under normal circumstances.
Issuing restart or shutdown at the SAC> prompt causes the server to restart or shutdown
immediately and can result in the loss of data.
Instead use the Windows Start menu or the shutdown command to shut down gracefully.
To shut down Windows use either of the following methods.
•Choose
Shut Down from the Start menu and choose either Restart or Shut down from the pull-down menu.
The Restart menu item shuts down and restarts the server. The Shut down menu item shuts down the
server.
You can use this method when using a graphical interface to the server.
•Issue the shutdown command from the Windows command line.
See “Log in to Windows running on the server that you want to shut down.” on page 156 for details.
You can issue this command from a command prompt through the Special Administration Console (SAC)
or from any other command line.
The Windows shutdown command includes the following options:
/s Shuts down and halts (power off) the server. This is the equivalent of Start—>Shut Down,
Shut down. To power on the server, use the management processor PC command.
/r Shuts down and restarts the server. This is the equivalent of Start—>Shut Down, Restart.
/a Aborts a server shutdown.
/t

Sets the timeout period before shutdown to
xxx
seconds. The timeout period ranges
from 0–600, with a default of 30.
See the help shutdown Windows command for details.

Windows Shutdown from the Command Line
From the Windows command line, issue the shutdown command to shut down the operating system.
Step 1. Log in to Windows running on the server that you want to shut down.
For example, access the system console and use the Windows SAC interface to start a command
prompt, from which you can issue Windows commands to shut down the server.
Step 2. Check to see whether any users are logged in.
Use the query user or query session command.
Step 3. Issue the shutdown command and the appropriate options to shut down the Windows Server 2003
on the server.
You have the following options when shutting down Windows:
• To shut down Windows and reboot:
shutdown /r
or choose the Start —> Shut Down action and choose Restart from the pull-down menu.
• To shut down Windows and halt (power off server hardware):
shutdown /s
or choose the Start —> Shut Down action and choose Shut down from the pull-down menu.
To reboot a halted server you must power on the server using the PC command at the iLO MP
Command menu.
• To abort a shutdown (stop a shutdown that has been initiated): shutdown /a
For example:
shutdown /r /t 60 /c "Shut down in one minute."
This command initiates a Windows server shutdown and reboot after a timeout period of 60
seconds. The /c option specifies a message that is broadcast to any other users of the server.

Appendix B 157
Booting and Shutting Down Linux
This section covers booting and shutting down Linux on entry-class HP servers. Procedures for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server are given in this section.
• To add a Linux entry to the boot options list, see “Adding Linux to the Boot Options List” on page 157.
• To boot Linux on entry-class HP Integrity servers, use the following procedures.
— For details on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, see “Booting the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Operating
System” on page 158
— For details on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server, see “Booting the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server
Operating System” on page 159.
• To shut down either Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SuSE Linux Enterprise Server, see “Shutting Down
Linux” on page 160.
Adding Linux to the Boot Options List
This section describes how to add a Linux entry to the system boot options list. The processes for adding both
Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SuSE Linux Enterprise Servers are given here.
You can add the \EFI\redhat\elilo.efi loader or the \efi\SuSE\elilo.efi loader to the boot options list
from the EFI Shell or EFI Boot Configuration menu (or in some versions of EFI, the Boot Option Maintenance
Menu).
NOTE On HP Integrity servers, the operating system installer automatically adds an entry to the boot
options list.
Step 1. Access the EFI Shell environment.
Log in to the management processor and enter CO to access the system console.
When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI
menu). If you are at another EFI menu, choose the Exit option from the submenus until you return
to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell
environment.
Step 2. Access the EFI System Partition (fs
X
: where
X
is the file system number) for the device from which
you want to boot Linux.
For example, enter fs2: to access the EFI System Partition for the bootable file system number 2.
The EFI Shell prompt changes to reflect the file system currently accessed.
The full path for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux loader is \EFI\redhat\elilo.efi and it should be
on the device you are accessing.
The full path for the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server loader is \efi\SuSE\elilo.efi and it should
be on the device you are accessing.
Step 3. At the EFI Shell environment, use the bcfg command to manage the boot options list.
The bcfg command includes the following options for managing the boot options list:

For example, bcfg boot add 1 \EFI\redhat\elilo.efi "Red Hat Enterprise Linux"
adds a Red Hat Enterprise Linux item as the first entry in the boot options list.
Likewise, bcfg boot add 1 \efi\SuSE\elilo.efi "SLES 10" adds a SuSE Linux item as
the first entry in the boot options list.
See the help bcfg command for details.
Step 4. Exit the console and management processor interfaces if you are finished using them.
Press Ctrl+B to exit the system console and return to the iLO MP Main Menu. To exit the iLO MP,
enter X at the Main Menu.
Booting the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Operating System
You can boot the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system on HP Integrity servers using either of these
methods:
• Choose a Red Hat Enterprise Linux entry from the EFI Boot Manager menu.
To load the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system at the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose its entry
from the list of boot options.
Choosing a Linux entry from the boot options list boots the operating system using ELILO.EFI loader and
the elilo.conf file.
• Initiate the ELILO.EFI Linux loader from the EFI Shell. For details, see “Access the EFI Shell.” on
page 158.
On a Red Hat Enterprise Linux boot device EFI System Partition, the full paths to the loader and
configuration files are:
\EFI\redhat\elilo.efi
\EFI\redhat\elilo.conf
After choosing the file system for the boot device (for example, fs0:) you can initiate the Linux loader
from the EFI Shell prompt by entering the full path for the ELILO.EFI loader.
By default the ELILO.EFI loader boots Linux using the kernel image and parameters specified by the default
entry in the elilo.conf file on the EFI System Partition for the boot device.
To interact with the ELILO.EFI loader, interrupt the boot process (for example, enter a space) at the ELILO
boot prompt. To exit the ELILO.EFI loader, use the exit command.
Booting Red Hat Enterprise Linux from the EFI Shell
Use this procedure to boot Red Hat Enterprise Linux from the EFI Shell.
Step 1. Access the EFI Shell.
Booting the Operating System
Booting and Shutting Down Linux
Appendix B 159
From the system console, choose the EFI Shell entry from the EFI Boot Manager menu to access the
shell.
Step 2. Access the EFI System Partition for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux boot device.
Use the map EFI Shell command to list the file systems (fs0, fs1, and so on) that are known and
mapped.
To choose a file system to use, enter its mapped name followed by a colon (:). For example, to
operate with the boot device that is mapped as fs3, enter fs3: at the EFI Shell prompt.
Step 3. Enter ELILO at the EFI Shell command prompt to launch the ELILO.EFI loader.
If needed, you can specify the loader’s full path by entering \EFI\redhat\elilo at the EFI Shell
command prompt.
Step 4. Allow the ELILO.EFI loader to proceed with booting the Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel.
By default, the ELILO.EFI loader boots the kernel image and options specified by the default item
in the elilo.conf file.
To interact with the ELILO.EFI loader, interrupt the boot process (for example, enter a space) at the
ELILO boot prompt. To exit the loader use the exit command.
Booting the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server Operating System
You can boot the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 operating system on HP Integrity servers using either of
these methods:
• Choose a SuSE Linux Enterprise Server entry from the EFI Boot Manager menu.
To load the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system at the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose its
entry from the list of boot options.
Choosing a Linux entry from the boot options list boots the operating system using ELILO.EFI loader and
the elilo.conf file.
•Initiate the ELILO.EFI Linux loader from the EFI Shell. See “Booting SuSE Linux Enterprise Server from
the EFI Shell” on page 159.
On a SuSE Linux Enterprise Server boot device EFI System Partition, the full paths to the loader and
configuration files are:
\efi\SuSE\elilo.efi
\efi\SuSE\elilo.conf
After choosing the file system for the boot device (for example, fs0:) you can initiate the Linux loader
from the EFI Shell prompt by entering the full path for the ELILO.EFI loader.
By default, the ELILO.EFI loader boots Linux using the kernel image and parameters specified by the default
entry in the elilo.conf file on the EFI System Partition for the boot device.
To interact with the ELILO.EFI loader, interrupt the boot process (for example, enter a space) at the ELILO
boot prompt. To exit the ELILO.EFI loader, use the exit command.

mapped.
To choose a file system to use, enter its mapped name followed by a colon (:). For example, to
operate with the boot device that is mapped as fs3, enter fs3: at the EFI Shell prompt.
Step 3. Enter ELILO at the EFI Shell command prompt to launch the ELILO.EFI loader.
If needed, you can specify the loader’s full path by entering \efi\SuSE\elilo at the EFI Shell
command prompt.
Step 4. Allow the ELILO.EFI loader to proceed with booting the SuSE Linux kernel.
By default, the ELILO.EFI loader boots the kernel image and options specified by the default item
in the elilo.conf file.
To interact with the ELILO.EFI loader, interrupt the boot process (for example, enter a space) at the
ELILO boot prompt. To exit the loader use the exit command.
Shutting Down Linux
Use the shutdown command to shut down Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SuSE Linux Enterprise Server.
The Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server shutdown command has the following
options:
-h Halts (power off) after shutdown.
Use the PC command at the management processor Command menu to manually power on
or power off server hardware, as needed.
-r Reboots after shutdown.
-c Cancels an already running shutdown.

Extensible Firmware Interface Boot Manager
162
Extensible Firmware Interface Boot Manager
Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) is an OS and platform-independent boot and pre-boot interface. EFI
resides between the OS and platform firmware. This allows the OS to boot without having details about the
underlying hardware and firmware. EFI supports boot devices; uses a flat memory model; and hides platform
and firmware details from the OS.
NOTE EFI and Pre-OS System Environment (POSSE) are similar. EFI is an Intel specification,
whereas POSSE is the HP implementation that aids HP support.
EFI consolidates boot utilities similar to those found in PA-RISC based servers, such as the Boot Console
Handler (BCH), and platform firmware into a single platform firmware. EFI allows the selection of any EFI
OS loader from any boot medium that is supported by EFI boot services. An EFI OS loader supports multiple
options on the user interface.
EFI supports booting from media that contain an EFI OS loader or an EFI-defined server partition. An
EFI-defined server partition is required by EFI to boot from a block device.

Extensible Firmware Interface Boot Manager
163
The EFI boot manager loads EFI applications (including operating system [OS] first stage loader) and EFI
drivers from an EFI-defined file system or image loading service. Non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) variables point
to the file to be loaded. These variables contain application-specific data that is passed directly to the EFI
application. EFI variables provides system firmware a boot menu that points to all the operating systems,
even multiple versions of the same operating systems.
The EFI boot manager allows you to control the server’s booting environment. Depending on how you have
configured the boot options, after the server is powered up the boot manager presents you with different ways
to bring up the server. For example, you can boot to the EFI shell, to an operating system located on the
network or residing on media in the server, or the Boot Configuration menu, see “Using the Boot
Configuration Menu”.
•Boot From File—Allows the user to explore the EFI file system and to choose a file to boot. The selected
file will not be added to the boot option list.
•Add Boot Entry—Adds a boot option to the EFI boot manager. You select the boot option by exploring the
available file systems for the EFI file you wish to add. After selecting the file, you will be prompted for the
name of the boot option and for any optional ASCII or UNICODE arguments the file might use. After
saving the boot option you may boot it by selecting it from the list of available boot options in the boot
menu.
•Remove Boot Entry—Deletes a specific boot entry or all boot entries.
•Edit OS Boot Order—Controls the relative order in which the EFI boot manager attempts boot options.
For help on the control key sequences you need for this option, see the help menu.
•BootNext Configuration—Selects a boot option to use one time (the next boot operation).
•AutoBoot Configuration—Defines the value in seconds that pass before the server automatically boots
without user intervention. Setting this value to zero disables the timeout feature.

Provides information on the EFI shell commands. It also has an additional feature to aid those familiar with
the BCH menus of PA-RISC servers to adjust to their equivalent functions in EFI.
Syntax
help [-b] <category>
help [-b] <cmd>
help [-b] bch <bchmenu> <bchcmd>
Parameters
-b Enable page breaking
category Category of commands to view help on commands
cmd Shell command name on which to provide verbose information
bch Display the list of BCH commands and their corresponding EFI
bchmenu BCH menu name taken from the top level of the BCH menu
bchcmd BCH command on which to display information
Operation
If help is initiated with no parameters, it displays a list of shell command categories. To list all of the
commands within a category, the user should enter help <category> (see examples). If initiated with the -b
switch, any output longer than one page pauses after each page is displayed. If a shell command name is used
as a parameter, verbose help is displayed for that command.
If help is initiated with the bch option, it displays a list of BCH commands and their corresponding
EFI/POSSE commands. It instructs the user to repeat the command line followed by a menu name for more
information on that menu. If help is initiated followed by bch and a menu name, it displays a list of
commands that appear under that BCH menu. The user may then initiate help followed by bch, the menu
name, and a BCH command name to display information on that command. This would point the user to the

Parameters
<fast_init> specify device connection policy setting
<wol> specify system wake-on-lan setting
<on|off> specify to configure or deconfigure a feature or component
Operation
The ioconfig file is used to retain information on the server I/O configuration across reboots. The ioconfig
file is created by insf at install time; and is modified by insf, rmsf, and ioscan when devices are added or
removed. The only purpose of the ioconfig file to maintain configuration information when the system is
not running.
Example C-8 ioconfig Command

Note:
1. If fast_init is enabled, firmware will connect only the minimum set of
devices during boot. This feature might cause boot failure; disable this
feature if failure occurs.
2. Any pending Wake-On-LAN request will not be cleared until reboot if
the setting is changed to disabled.
System will clear pending Wake-On-LAN requests each time the system

In the preceding example, a single SCSI interface is shown in the listing. The information for both
channels of the SCSI interface is shown in bold, for highlighting purposes.
For each channel of the SCSI board, you need to note certain information. As an example, look at
the information for the SCSI interface (the first two bold lines). For each channel of this SCSI
interface, note the following information:
•Bus #—identifies the bus the device is on; for the SCSI interface, this is the same for both
channels. In this example, the bus number is 20.
•Dev #—the ID the device is assigned on the bus; for the SCSI interface, this is the same for
both channels. In this example, the SCSI interface is device 01.
•Fnc #—identifies the channel of the device (00 for channel A, 01 for channel B, and so on). In
this example, because the SCSI interface has two channels, one channel is 00 and the other is
01.
•Vendor ID—shows the device’s vendor ID; for the SCSI interface, this is the same for both
channels. For all the SCSI interface the ID is 0x1000.
•Device ID—shows the device ID; for the SCSI interface, this is the same for both channels. For
the SCSI interface the ID is 0x0030.
•Slot #—identifies the physical card slot in the server where the SCSI interface is installed; for
the SCSI interface, this is the same for both channels. In this example, the SCSI interface is on
the I/O baseboard therefore the in slot number is xx.
•Path—identifies the device’s path; for the SCSI interface, this is the same for both channels. In
this example, the SCSI interface path is Acpi(HWP0002,200)/Pci(1|0) for channel A and
Acpi(HWP0002,200)/Pci(1|1) for channel B.

00 20 01 01 0x1000 0x0030 xx Acpi(HWP0002,200)/Pci(1|1)
Looking at all of the above information together, the vendor (0x1000) and device (0x0030) are the
IDs for a SCSI interface. Of the devices with those IDs, this device has two channels (Fnc # of 00
immediately followed by Fnc # of 01). Also, this SCSI interface has a non-numeric (XX) slot #
indicating that it is on the I/O baseboard.
Step 2. Still at the EFI shell prompt, enter the following command to obtain the controller’s handle for the
SCSI interface:
devtree
A tree of all EFI-capable devices installed in the server is displayed. The output could look like this:

Specifying SCSI Parameters
183
In the preceding example, the SCSI interface information is shown highlighted bold. You can tell
the information is for the SCSI interface because the path on the first line—Acpi(HWP0002,100)—
is the path from the information displayed by the info io command. The next two lines are for the
SCSI interface two channels, one line for each channel (they contain the SCSI interface description
[LSI Logic Ultra320 SCSI Controller]). Note the value shown for Ctrl—17 and 18—at the
beginning of each of those lines; this is the controller’s handle for each channel. You need to
know it for the next step.
NOTE The controller’s handle values change on every boot.
Step 3. Still at the EFI shell prompt, enter the following command to obtain the EFI driver’s handle for the
SCSI interface:
drvcfg
A list of all EFI-capable configurable components in the server displays. The output may look like
this:
Shell> drvcfg
Configurable Components
Drv[3D] Ctrl[15] Lang[eng]
Drv[3F] Ctrl[19] Lang[eng]
Drv[45] Ctrl[17] Lang[eng]
Drv[45] Ctrl[18] Lang[eng]
This listing shows which driver controls which device (controller). In the above example, the SCSI
interface information is shown highlighted bold. You can tell the information is for this SCSI
interface because the values shown for Ctrl—17 and 18—are the controller’s handles for the SCSI
interface two channels (from the information displayed by the devtree command).
NOTE The EFI driver’s handle values change on every boot.
TIP From this command (drvcfg), we recommend you record these two pieces of
information for each channel of each SCSI interface for parameters to be changed:
•Drv (the EFI driver’s handle)
•Ctrl (the controller’s handle)
Step 4. Using the information (the driver’s handle [Drv] and the controller’s handle [Ctrl]) from the
drvcfg command, start the EFI SCSI Setup Utility for one channel of this SCSI interface. Still at
the EFI shell prompt, enter the following command:
drvcfg -s
drvr_handle cntrl_handle
where:
•
drvr_handle
is the handle of the driver that controls the channel whose SCSI ID you want to
display or change
•
cntrl_handle
is the handle of the controller for the channel whose SCSI ID you want to
display or change
Appendix C
Utilities
Specifying SCSI Parameters
184
Continuing the example for Channel A of this SCSI interface, you would enter:
drvcfg -s 45 18
Step 5. The EFI SCSI Setup Utility starts and its main menu displays, showing a list of all the EFI capable
SCSI interfaces in the server.
Move the cursor to highlight the channel of the SCSI interface; press Enter. (To determine which
channel of the interface to highlight, match the PCI Bus, PCI Dev, and PCI Func values on this
screen to the Bus #, Dev #, and Fnc # values from the info io command.)
CAUTION Do not select the <Global Properties> option on the main menu.
TIP To move the cursor in the EFI SCSI Setup Utility, you can use these keys:
• Arrow keys: ↑ ↓ ← →
•Alternate keys:
H = left
J = down
K = up
L = right
I = home
O = end
Step 6. The “Adapter Properties” screen for this channel of the SCSI interface is displayed. If you like, you
can make sure the utility is running for the channel of the SCSI interface by comparing the values
shown for PCI Bus, PCI Device, and PCI Function to the Bus #, Dev #, and Fnc # values from
the info io command.
CAUTION Do not change the value for any of these fields on the “Adapter Properties” screen:
•Auto Termination
•SCSI Parity
•SCSI Bus Scan Order
•Spinup Delay (Secs)
Changing any of these fields can cause unpredictable results.
CAUTION Do not change the value for any of these fields on the “Device Properties” screen:
•Scan Id
•Scan LUNs > 0
Appendix C
Utilities
Specifying SCSI Parameters
185
•Disconnect
•SCSI Timeout
•Queue Tags
•Format
•Verify
Changing any of these fields can cause unpredictable results.
Step 7. You may display (and optionally change) any SCSI parameters listed below for the channel of the
SCSI interface, or restore its SCSI parameters to their default values.
• SCSI ID
• Maximum data transfer rate
•Bus width
• Whether the SCSI interface is bootable (driver support)
• Avoid bus resets (secondary cluster server)
•Restore Defaults
Step 8. Use the arrow keys to navigate to the appropriate SCSI parameter.
Step 9. Use the plus (+) and minus (-) keys to scroll through the values.
Step 10. Press Esc to exit the Adapter Properties screen. You are given these choices:
• Cancel the exit from the screen (to stay in the Adapter Properties screen for the channel of the
SCSI interface)
• Save the changes you made and then exit the screen
• Discard the changes you made and then exit the screen
Step 11. Move the cursor to the action (cancel, save, or discard) you want to take; press Enter.
If you selected cancel, you remain in the Adapter Properties screen for the channel of the SCSI
interface. You can still change the channel’s parameters listed above.
If you selected save or discard, you are placed in the EFI SCSI Setup Utility’s main menu.
CAUTION Do not select the <Global Properties> option on the main menu.
Step 12. Press Esc to exit the main menu and the EFI SCSI Setup Utility.
Step 13. Select the option for exiting the utility.
Step 14. When you are prompted to, press Enter to stop the SCSI interface; you are now back at the EFI shell
prompt.
Step 15. At the EFI shell prompt, enter the reset command:
The server starts to reboot. This is required to cause the new SCSI setting.

Using the Boot Configuration Menu
The Boot Configuration Menu menu allows you to select console output and input devices as well as various
boot options. It contains the following items:
• Boot From File
• Add Boot Entry
• Edit Boot Entry
• Remove Boot Entry
• Edit OS Boot Order
• AutoBoot Configuration
• BootNext Configuration
• Driver Configuration
• Console Configuration
•System Reset
These items are described in the following sections.
In all menus, select:
• For help on menus and navigation, see the status bar on the bottom of the screen
• Enter to select an item after using the arrow keys to highlight the item
• Save Settings to NVRAM to save your changes
NOTE The options shown here are examples. Your server may have different options available based
on the server configuration and installed hardware components.
Boot From File
Use this option to manually run a specific application or driver.
NOTE This option boots the selected application or driver one time only. When you exit the
application, you return to this menu.
This option displays the file systems that are on your server or workstation and lets you browse these file
systems for applications or drivers that are executable. Executable files end with the .efi extension. You can
also select remote boot (LAN) options that have been configured on your network.
For example:
Boot From a File. Select a Volume
NO VOLUME LABEL [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Primary,Master)/CDROM
CD_FORMAT [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Secondary,Master)/CDROM
Removable Media Boot [Acpi(HWP0002,500)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Secondary,Master)
Load File [EFI Shell [Built-in]]

187
Load File [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(3|0)/Mac(00306E4C4F1A)]
Exit
In this example:
• NO VOLUME LABEL is a hard drive. When you format a hard drive, the EFI tools provide an option to
LABEL the disk. In this example, the volume was not labelled.
• CD_FORMAT is the label created for the disk currently inside the DVD drive.
• Removable Media Boot allows you to boot from a removable media drive (CD/DVD drive). This option does
not support booting from a specific file on a specific removable media disc.
• The two Load Files are the EFI Shell and the LAN.
Add Boot Entry
Use this option to add items to the EFI boot menu.
This option displays the file systems that are on your server and lets you browse these file systems for
applications or drivers that are executable. Executable files end with the.efi extension. You can also select
remote boot (LAN) options that have been configured on your network. The option you have selected will be
added to the EFI boot menu.
If you add a new drive to your server, you must manually add its boot options list if you want to make it a
bootable device.
When adding a boot option that already exists in the Boot Manager list of boot options, you can choose
whether to create a new option or modify the existing one. If you:
• Choose to modify an existing option, you may change the boot option name and/or add boot option
arguments to the existing option.
• Create a new boot option for an already existing option, multiple instances of the same boot option exist.
For example:
Add a Boot Option. Select a Volume
NO VOLUME LABEL [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Primary,Master)/CDROM
Removable Media Boot [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Secondary,Master)
Load File [EFI Shell [Built-in]]
Load File [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(3|0)/Mac(00306E4C4F1A)]
Exit
In this example:
• Most of the items are the same options in Boot From a File.
• NO VOLUME LABEL is a hard drive. You can search through the disk for bootable applications to add to
the Boot Manager list of Boot options.
• Removable Media Boot will treat the Removable Media (generally a CD) as a bootable device.
• Load File EFI Shell adds a new instance to the EFI Shell. Load File with the MAC address adds a
network boot option
Edit Boot Entry
Use this option to remove boot options from the EFI boot menu.
Appendix C
Utilities
Using the Boot Configuration Menu
188
NOTE This does not delete any files, applications or drivers from your server.
This option displays a list of boot options that are configured on your server. The names will match the
options on the main Boot Manager menu (above).
If you remove a drive from your server, you must manually delete it from the boot options list.
• To delete an item from the list, use the arrow keys to highlight the item and press Enter.
• To remove all of the entries from the EFI boot menu, select Delete All Boot Options. This setting may be
used as a security device on servers that are accessed remotely.
Remove Boot Entry
Use this option to change the order of boot options. The order in which options are listed in the EFI boot menu
also reflects the order in which the server attempts to boot. If the first boot option fails, the server tries
booting the second, then the third, and so forth, until a boot option succeeds or until all options have failed.
For example, if you normally boot using a configuration on your LAN but would like to boot from a local hard
drive if the LAN is unavailable, move the LAN boot option to the top of the list, followed by the hard drive
boot option.
The menu lists boot options that currently exist in the main Boot Manager menu. You can change the priority
of the items by moving them up or down in the list:
• Press U to move an option up.
• Press D to move an option down.
• Select Save Settings to NVRAM to modify the order in the Boot Manager menu, which modifies the order
that the Boot Manager will attempt to boot the options.
• The items at the bottom of the screen (shown in bold in these examples) are descriptions of the selected
option.
For example:
Change boot order. Select an Operation

BootNext Configuration
Use this option to run the selected boot option immediately upon entering the main Boot Manager menu. This
option is useful for booting an option that only needs to be booted once, without changing any other setting in
the main Boot Manager menu. This is a one-time operation and does not change the permanent system boot
settings.
This option displays the file systems that are on your server and lets you browse these file systems for
applications or drivers that are executable. Executable files end with the.efi extension. You can also select
remote boot (LAN) options that have been configured on your network.
To restore the default boot next setting, select Reset BootNext Setting.

Use this option to set the amount of time the server pauses before attempting to launch the first item in the
Boot Options list.
For example:
Set Auto Boot Timeout. Select an Option
Set Timeout Value
Delete/Disable Timeout

Exit
Interrupting the timeout during the countdown stops the Boot Manager from loading any boot options
automatically. If there is no countdown, boot options must be selected manually.
• To set the auto boot timeout value, in seconds, select Set Timeout Value and enter the desired value.
• To disable the timeout function, select Delete/Disable Timeout.
NOTE When this option is selected, the server does not automatically boot. The server stops at the
EFI boot menu and waits for user input.
Driver Configuration
Use this option to define the devices that display output from the system console. This list normally includes
the VGA monitor and a serial port for directing output to a terminal emulation package.
NOTE If you install a modem in your server, make sure you disable the modem serial port in both the
Active Console Input and Active Console Output device lists.
NOTE Some operating systems support multiple consoles, such as a simultaneous serial and VGA
output. See your OS documentation to determine how many consoles are supported with your
server. Multiple consoles are not supported for HP-UX or Windows (use the Smart Setup CD to
switch between COM A and the iLO MP on Windows systems).
For example:
