Option ROM Configuration for Arrays
Before installing an operating system, you can use the ORCA utility to create the first logical drive, assign
RAID levels, and establish online spare configurations.
The utility also provides support for the following functions:
•
Reconfiguring one or more logical drives
•
Viewing the current logical drive configuration
•
Deleting a logical drive configuration
•
Setting the controller to be the boot controller

Selecting the boot volume
If you do not use the utility, ORCA will default to the standard configuration.

The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of available firmware

Automatic Server Recovery
ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such as
a blue screen, ABEND (does not apply to HP ProLiant DL980 Servers), or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the
ASR timer, starts when the System Management driver, also known as the Health Driver, is loaded. When the
operating system is functioning properly, the system periodically resets the timer. However, when the
operating system fails, the timer expires and restarts the server.
