Server Configuration and Utilities
Boot Options
After the auto-configuration process completes, or after the server reboots upon exit
from RBSU, the Power-On Self-Test (POST) sequence runs, and then the boot option
screen is displayed. This screen is visible for several seconds before the system
attempts to boot from either a bootable CD or the hard drive. During this time, the
menu on the screen allows the user to install an operating system, make changes to
the server configuration in RBSU, or run the System Maintenance Menu. For detailed
information about these options, refer to the
HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User
Guide
or to the CD.
System Maintenance Menu
The System Maintenance Menu provides access to server diagnostics and RBSU.
Embedded in the system ROM, the menu feature replaces the legacy system-partition
functionality supported on some HP servers.
To access the System Maintenance Menu, press the
F10
key when prompted from the
boot option screen. For more information on using the features of the System
Maintenance Menu, refer to the
HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide
.
Integrated Management Log
The Integrated Management Log (IML) records hundreds of events and stores them
in an easy-to-view form. The IML timestamps each event with one-minute
granularity.
You can view recorded events in the IML in several ways, including the following:
•
•
•
From within Insight Manager
From within Survey Utility
From within operating system-specific IML viewers
— For Windows: Event Viewer or IML Viewer
— For Linux: IML Viewer Application
