ROMPaq Disaster Recovery
Any server that does not have a valid ROM image may utilize the following process.
IMPORTANT:
This operation should be performed on a server with redundant ROM
only if
both ROM images have been corrupted. If only one image is corrupted, read the “Redundant
ROM Image Recovery” section in this chapter for complete instructions.
1.
Create a new ROMPaq diskette using the latest version for the server involved.
IMPORTANT:
If the ROM is corrupted by a ROMPaq interruption, the initial ROMPaq
attempt may have affected the contents of the original diskette.
2.
Power down the server.
3.
Insert the ROMPaq diskette.
Although you utilize a standard ROMPaq diskette, the old ROM image is not
saved during this process.
4.
Power up the server.
The keyboard, mouse, and monitor are all inactive. If your server has an
Integrated Management Display (IMD), it is active. The server generates two
long beeps to indicate that you are in disaster recovery mode.
If you are not in disaster recovery mode, power down the server and activate
disaster recovery mode by setting the configuration switches on the system
maintenance switch block.
IMPORTANT:
These switch settings are different for each server. Refer to the switch
setting information provided in your server-specific user documentation to find these
settings for your server.
Make a note of the positions of all switches in the system maintenance switch
box so that they can be restored after successful completion of this process.
Power up the server again to boot into disaster recovery mode.
