HP Server ROM

HP ROM (read only memory) is now digitally signed using HP's Corporate Signing Service. This signature is verified before the flash process starts, reducing accidental programming and preventing malicious efforts to corrupt system ROM.

HP ROM provides for essential initialization and validation of hardware components before control is passed to the customer-installed operating system. The ROM also provides the capability of booting from various fixed media (HDD, CD-ROM) and removable media (USB), to continue operation to the operating system.

HP ROM performs very early configuration of the video controller, to allow monitoring of initialization progress via an attached monitor. If configuration or hardware errors are discovered during this early phase of hardware initialization, suitable messages are now displayed on the connected monitor. Additionally, these configuration or hardware errors are logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) to assist in diagnosis.

HP's ProLiant ROM is used to configure the following:

Processor and chipset status registers System memory, memory map, and memory initialization System hardware configuration (integrated PCI devices and optional PCIe cards). Customer-specific BIOS configuration using the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).

NOTE:

For further information, please refer to HP's RBSU (ROM based setup utility) user guide:

HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP)

HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) and HP Smart Update Manager (HP SUM) provide a comprehensive approach to firmware and system software maintenance. Together they provide better operating stability and ensure maximum uptime. The SPP will be updated at a predictable cadence, typically coinciding with new HP server hardware launches. By enabling firmware to be updated online and integrating firmware and system software updates in one operation, HP SUM and the SPP offer faster updates of individual servers and dramatically faster updates of entire BladeSystem enclosures. Further improving system uptime and stability is the fact that HP provides 12 months of support for each Service Pack for ProLiant release.

The user experience around HP SUM and the SPP has been improved in several ways, starting with the web download. A single web page provides access to a single download containing both the latest version of HP SUM and the latest SPP. Optional smaller subsets with only specific types of servers or specific operating systems are offered to save on download time. The HP SUM application provides a straightforward, intuitive user interface that guides the user through the steps of discovery, analyses and update, providing comprehensive information on available updates, criticality and interdependencies. This information is also available in reports. By providing the option of multiple local or shared repositories which can be easily updated from hp.com, HP SUM provides the tools to optimize stability and consistency throughout the company. While HP SUM and the SPP recommend the combinations of firmware and system software that HP has found to be the best practice, the application gives customers the flexibility to set their own specific baseline.

The Service Pack for ProLiant has been rigorously tested with specific attention for interaction between firmware, drivers and agents both within the server as well as in interaction with the BladeSystem enclosure components (Onboard Administrator and Virtual Connect). This testing ensures the highest quality as well as providing the input for HP SUM to deploy updates taking into account all interdepencies, when determining the correct updates and order of update deployment.

Availability

Memory

Advanced ECC uses single device data correction (SDDC) to detect and correct single and all multi-bit error that occurs within a single DRAM chip. Both x4 and x8 SDDC are supported (x8 requires lockstep mode). Memory online spare mode (also known as rank spare mode) detects a rank that is degrading and switches operation to the spare rank. Memory Lockstep mode is used to correct a single x8 DRAM device failure on a DIMM. The DIMMs in each paired memory channel must have identical HP part numbers. Memory demand and patrol scrubbing to prevent accumulation of correctable errors and reducing the likelihood of unplanned downtime. Failed DIMM isolation improves the service time thus improving the overall system availability. Address parity protection available on RDIMMs and LRDIMMs detects address bit errors to improve service time and overall system availability.

Storage

Two (2) Small Form Factor hot-plug SAS/SATA/SSD drive bays. Integrated HP Smart Array P220i Controller with 512MB FBWC, RAID 0 and 1 support, and upgradeable firmware with recovery ROM capability. Optional HP D2200sb Storage Blade for direct attachment of up to 12 drives to an adjacent blade within the c-Class enclosure. (Available with single-width WS460c only) Optional dual-port Fibre Channel mezzanine card for redundant SAN connections. (With configurations where mezzanine slot is available)

Processor/Chipset

Processor internal sensors & thermal control protection against over-temperature conditions. Cache parity/ECC protects cache data from accidental data corruption. Machine Check Architecture (MCA) detects and captures hardware errors such as system bus, memory ECC, parity, and cache, and improves service time. Intel® QPI Protocol Protection allows detection of data errors using a checksum of 8-bits. Core Disable for FRB (fault resilient boot) allows a system to power-on despite a failing core-pair. It uses BIST (built-in self test) results to detect a failure and disables the target core-pair upon subsequent boot.

Blade Enclosure Infrastructure

Pooled power for true N+N power redundancy through up to six (6) hot-plug, high-efficiency, common slot enclosure-based power supplies (configuration dependent). Up to ten (10) redundant enclosure-based hot-plug HP Active Cool fans that scale to meet future demands and optimize airflow, reduce power draw, and improve acoustic performance. Dual grid power providing redundant rack enclosure power feeds to the server blade enclosure. HP Dynamic Power Saver Mode the total enclosure power consumption is monitored in real time and automatically adjusted with changes in demand for improved efficiency and reliability. HP Dynamic Power Capping safely limits power usage without impacting performance by capping peak usage instead of average power usage, removes risk to electrical infrastructure with a fastacting, hardware-based capping algorithm, and reclaims more power by dynamically controlling power limits based on workload demand. Up to eight interconnect modules per server blade enclosure providing four simultaneous redundant fabrics for FlexFabric, Virtual Connect Ethernet, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, Pass Thru Ethernet, etc. Enclosure crosslinks between adjacent enclosures to provide interconnect module-to-module connections or as Virtual Connect module stacking links. Optional enclosure redundant Onboard Administrator system management module.
