 3 Utilities
Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Boot Manager
EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) is an OS and platform-independent boot and pre-boot
interface. EFI lies between the OS and platform firmware, allowing 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 systems, 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 system partition.
An EFI-defined system partition is required by EFI to boot from a block device.

Figure 3-1 EFI Boot Sequence

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 system. For example, you can boot to the EFI

Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Boot Manager 29

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
 shell, to an operating system located on the network or residing on media in the server, or the
Boot Maintenance menu, see “Using the Boot Option Maintenance Menu”.
• Boot from a File—Automatically adds EFI applications as boot options or allows you to boot
from a specific file. When you choose this option, the system searches for an EFI directory.
If the EFI directory is found, then it looks in each of the subdirectories below EFI. In each
of those subdirectories, it looks for the first file that is an executable EFI application. Each
of the EFI applications that meet this criterion can be automatically added as a boot option.
In addition, legacy boot options for A: and C: are also added if those devices are present.
You can also launch a specific application without adding it as a boot option. In this case
the EFI boot manager searches the root directories and the \EFI\TOOLS directories of all
of the EFI system partitions present in the system for the specified EFI application.
• Add a Boot Option—Adds a boot option to the EFI boot manager. You specify the option by
providing the name of the EFI application. Along with the name you can also provide either
ASCII or UNICODE arguments the file might use. Given the EFI application name and any
options, the EFI boot manager searches for the executable file in the same directories as
described in “Boot from a File” option. When the file is found, it is executed.
• Delete Boot Options—Deletes a specific boot option or all boot options.
• Change 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, refer to the help
menu.
• Manage BootNext Setting—Selects a boot option to use one time (the next boot operation).
• Set Automatic Boot Timeout—Defines the value in seconds that pass before the system
automatically boots without user intervention. Setting this value to zero disables the timeout
feature.
• Exit—Returns control to the EFI boot manager main menu. This displays the active boot
devices, including a possible integrated shell (if the implementation is so constructed).

 EFI/POSSE Commands
This section describes the EFI/POSSE commands developed for the server.

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.

help
Provides information on the EFI shell commands. It also has an additional feature to aid those
familiar with the BCH menus 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 invoked with no parameters, it displays a list of shell command categories. To list all
of the commands within a category, the user should type help <category> (see examples).
If invoked 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 invoked 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 invoked followed by bch and a menu name,
it displays a list of commands that appear under that BCH menu. The user may then invoke 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 command that has taken the place of that BCH
functionality, or will inform the user that the functionality no longer exists. As a shortcut, the
user may enter help followed by bch and a BCH command name to go straight to that command.

baud
Sets the baud rate and communication settings for a UART.

Syntax
baud <index> <baudrate>

Parameters
<index> 0 through the total number of UARTS minus one
<baudrate> baud rate.

Operation
This command is used to change the speed for a UART in the system. This command works for
all UARTs visible to EFI/POSSE. If the UART is part of processor dependent hardware (PDH)
space and is initialized by the core firmware, this command communicates the settings to core
firmware so the UART can be initialized with the new settings on the next boot. System default
is 9600 baud.

In the example above, 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 system 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 system board therefore the in slot number is xx.

48 Utilities
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
 • 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.
Using the SCSI interface information from the example above, the pieces of information
that, combined, tell you this is a SCSI interface are the following (shown in bold, for
highlighting purposes):
00 20 01 00 0x1000 0x0030 xx Acpi(HWP0002,200)/Pci(1|0)
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 system board.
2. Still at the EFI shell prompt, type this command to obtain the controller’s handle for the
SCSI interface:

Ctrl[46] VenHw(D65A6B8C-71E5-4DF0-A909-F0D2992B5AA9)
In the above 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 Ultra160 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 will change on every boot.

3. Still at the EFI shell prompt, type this command to obtain the EFI driver’s handle for the
SCSI interface:
drvcfg
A list of all EFI-capable configurable components in the system is displayed. The output
may look like this:
Shell> drvcfgConfigurable ComponentsDrv[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).

50 Utilities
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
 NOTE: The EFI driver’s handle values will 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)

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, type this 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
So, continuing the example for channel A of this SCSI interface, you would type:
drvcfg -s 45 18
5. The EFI SCSI Setup Utility starts and its main menu is displayed, showing a list of all the
EFI capable SCSI interfaces in the system.

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

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.

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

Specifying SCSI Parameters 51

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
 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
• Disconnect
• SCSI Timeout
• Queue Tags
• Format
• Verify
Changing any of these fields can cause unpredictable results.

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
8. Use the arrow keys to navigate to the appropriate SCSI parameter.
9. Use the plus (+) and minus (-) keys to scroll through the values until the value you want is
displayed.
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
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.

12. Press Esc to exit the main menu and the EFI SCSI Setup Utility.
13. Select the option for exiting the utility.
14. When you are prompted to, press Enter to stop the SCSI interface; you are now back at the
EFI shell prompt.

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-ROM 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 a Boot Option

Use this option to add items to the EFI boot menu.
This option displays the file systems that are on your system 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 system, 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)

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.

Delete Boot Option(s)

Use this option to remove boot options from the EFI boot menu.

NOTE: This does not delete any files, applications or drivers from your system.
This option displays a list of boot options that are configured on your system. The names will
match the options on the main Boot Manager menu (above).
If you remove a drive from your system, 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 systems that are accessed remotely.

Change Boot Order

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 system attempts to boot. If the first boot option
fails, the system 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.

Management Processor
The management processor is an independent support system for the server. It provides a way
for you to connect to a server and perform administration or monitoring tasks for the server
hardware.
The management processor controls power, reset, Transfer of Control (TOC) capabilities, provides
console access, displays and records system events, and can display detailed information about
the various internal subsystems. The management processor also provides a virtual front panel
that can be used to monitor system status and the state of front panel LEDs. All MP functions
are available via the LAN, local RS-232 and remote RS-232 ports.
The management processor is available whenever the system is connected to a power source,
even if the server main power switch is in the off position.
Access to the management processor can be restricted by user accounts. User accounts are
password protected and provide a specific level of access to the server and management processor
commands.
Multiple users can interact with the management processor. From the MP Main Menu users can
select any of the following options: enter management processor command mode, enter console,
view event logs, view console history, display virtual front panel, enter console session, or connect
to another management processor. Multiple users can select different options from the MP Main
Menu at the same time. However, management processor command mode and console mode
are mirrored, The MP allows only one user at a time to have write access to the shared console.

Accessing the Management Processor

You can connect to the management processor using the following methods:
• The local RS-232C port using a local terminal
• The remote RS-232C port using external modem (dial-up) access, if remote modem access
is configured
• The management processor LAN port using Web Console or telnet if login access through
the management processor LAN is enabled

 Interacting with the Management Processor
To interact with the management processor, perform the following steps:
1. Log in using your management processor user account name and password.

NOTE: If the management processor is not displaying the MP Main Menu, use CTRL+B
to access the MP Main Menu and the management processor (MP) prompt.

2. Use the management processor menus and commands as needed. A list of available
commands can be displayed by using the management processor help function (in the MP
Main Menu, enter HE followed by LI at the MP HELP: prompt). Log out using the X
command (in the MP Main Menu, enter X at the MP> prompt) when done.

Management Processor Command Interface

Use the management processor menus and commands as needed. The login screen, which includes
the Main Menu, is shown below. Main Menu commands (CO, VFP, CM, CL, CSP, SE, SL, HE, and
X) can be entered after the MP prompt. Commands not displayed in the MP Main Menu can be
accessed in command mode by first using the CM command at the MP prompt. (A list of available
commands can be displayed by using the management processor help function. Display the list
of commands as follows: in the MP Main Menu, enter HE after the MP> prompt, then enter LI
after the MP HELP: prompt.) You can return to the MP Main Menu by typing CTRL+B.

Configure Serial Port Parameters

CA: Configure local and remote serial port parameters
Set up the local serial port parameters as follows:
• TERMINAL TYPE: Vt100 vs HPterm
• BAUD RATES: Input and output data rates are the same; 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 38400,
115200 bit/sec.
• FLOW CONTROL: Hardware uses RTS/CTS; Software uses Xon/Xoff.
• TRANSMIT CONFIGURATION STRINGS: Disable this setting whenever the modem being
used is not compatible with the supported modem (MT5634ZBA).

IMPORTANT: Do not mix HP and vt100 terminal types at the same time.
Set up the remote serial port parameters as follows:
• MODEM PROTOCOL: Bell or CCITT (CCITT is a European standard; RTS/CTS signaling
is used, as well as the Ring signal. Bell is a U.S. or simple mode).
• BAUD RATES: Input and output data rates are the same; 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 38400,
115200 bit/sec.
• FLOW CONTROL: Hardware uses RTS/CTS; Software uses Xon/Xoff.

Management Processor Command Interface 63

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
 • TRANSMIT CONFIGURATION STRINGS: Disable this setting whenever the modem being
used is not compatible with the supported modem (MT5634ZBA).
• MODEM PRESENCE: When the modem may not always be connected, set this parameter
to “not always connected”.
For example: A modem attached through a switch. In mode “not always connected,” no
dial-out functions are allowed: DIAL-BACK is disabled, and PAGING is not possible.
The MP mirrors the system console to the MP local, remote/modem, and LAN ports. One console
output stream is reflected to all of the connected console users. If several different terminal types
are used simultaneously by the users, some users may see strange results.

Example 3-19 HP-UX

Applications that care about the terminal type (install, SAM, vi, and so on) running on HP-UX
use three methods to determine the terminal type:
1. The application takes the terminal information from the OS. This value is set in the CA
command and takes effect for all MP ports.
2. The $TERM shell environment variable.
3. The application directly queries the terminal (in this case, the write enabled terminal
establishes the terminal type).
Make sure that settings #1 and #2 agree with your terminal type.

Certificate Generate
CG: Generate RSA key pair or Self Signed Certificate
This command generates a new RSA key pair and self signed certificate.

Console Log
CL: Console Log—view the history of the Console output
This command displays up to 60 Kilobytes of logged console data (about 60 pages of display in
text mode) sent from the system to the Console path.

Command Mode
CM: Command Mode—enter command mode
This command switches the console terminal from the MP Main Menu to mirrored command
interface mode. If the current mux authority is administrator and the new login is as an operator,
the command mux will be denied (remains in MP Main Menu mode). If a command is in progress,
a message will be displayed warning the new user of system status.

Console
CO: COnsole—leave command mode and enter console mode
This command switches the console terminal from the MP Main Menu to mirrored/redirected
console mode. All mirrored data is displayed. Type CTRL+B to return to the MP command
interface.
For VT100 and HPTERM, verify that the MP setting in the CA command is correct and all mirrored
consoles are of the same terminal type for proper operation.

Connect to Service Processor

CSP: Connect to remote management processor over the LAN

64 Utilities
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
 This command allows the local or remote port user to connect over the MP LAN to another MP
on the network. The user that launches the command is given a private connection to the other
MP over the LAN. To return to the original MP, type CTRL+] to disconnect the CSP session.

Date
DATE: Displays the current date, as generated in the MP real-time clock.

Default Configuration
DC: Default Configuration—reset all MP parameters to the default configuration
This command sets all MP parameters back to their default values. The user may reset all or a
subset of the following parameters:
• IP configurations
• Modem configuration
• Paging configuration
• Command Interface configuration
• Disable remote access, security configuration
• Session configuration. For example: setting the security configuration to default erases all
users and passwords.
There are three ways to reset passwords in the MP:
1. In the SO command, change individual users.
2. In the DC command choose “Reset Security Configuration”.
3. Forgotten passwords can be reset by pressing the MP reset button on the back panel of your
HP Server. After the MP reboots, the local console terminal displays a message for five
seconds. Responding to this message in time will allow a local user to reset the passwords.

NOTE: All user information (logins, passwords, and so on) is erased in methods 2 and 3.

Display FRUID
DF: Display FRUID information
This command displays FRUID information from the BMC for FRU devices. Information provided
includes serial number; part number; model designation; name and version number; and
manufacturer.

Disconnect Remote or LAN Console

DI: DIsconnect remote/modem or LAN/WEB console
This command disconnects (hang up) the remote/modem or LAN/WEB users from MP. It does
not disable the ports. The remote console is no longer mirrored.

MP Firmware Update
FW: Activates MP firmware upgrade mode
This command is available from either the LAN or local serial port. This command activates
firmware upgrade mode, which loads new firmware through the MP LAN by FTP (which must
be operational). An MP Reset is generated after the upgrade is complete.

Help
HE: Display help for menu or command
This command displays the MP hardware and firmware version identity, and the date and time
of firmware generation. If executed from the MP Main Menu, general information about the MP,

Management Processor Command Interface 65

 and those commands displayed in the MP Main Menu, will be displayed. If executed in command
mode, this command displays a list of command interface commands available to the user. It
also displays detailed help information in response to a topic or command at the help prompt.

Display System ID
ID: Display/modify system information
This command allows the user to display and modify the following:
• SNMP contact information
• SNMP server information
• SPU hostname

Inactivity Timeout
IT: Inactivity Timeout settings
The session inactivity timeout is up to 1,440 minutes—default is 60 minutes. This timeout prevents
sessions to the system from being inadvertently left open. A session can be started by the SE
command. An open session can prevent users from logging onto the MP through a port and can
also prevent system applications from initiating an outbound connection.
MP inactivity timeout is up to 1,440 minutes—default is 5 minutes. This timeout prevents a user
from inadvertently keeping the MP locked in a MP Command Interface mode preventing other
users from looking at the console output. The MP Command Interface inactivity. timeout may
not be deactivated.
Flow control timeout is 0 to 60 minutes. If set to 0, no timeout is applied. This timeout prevents
mirrored flow control from blocking other ports when inactive.

Configure LAN Console

LC: LAN configuration (IP address, and so on)
This command displays and allows modification of the LAN configuration. Configurable
parameters include:
• MP IP Address
• MP Host Name
• Subnet Mask
• Gateway Address
• Web Console port number
• Link State
The MP Host Name set in this command is displayed at the MP command interface prompt.
Typically the DNS name for the LAN IP is entered.
This field can be programmed to any useful name or phrase. For clarity, it is useful to enter
MP-on-SYSTEM as the MP Host name, so both names show up in the prompt (limit 19 characters,
no spaces allowed.) The web access port number is also set by this command.

Locator LED Status

LOC: Locator LED Status
This command displays the current status of the Locator LED.

LAN Status
LS: LAN Status
This command displays all parameters and the current status of the MP LAN connections. The
LAN parameters are not modified by the execution of this command.

For proper system shutdown, shutdown the OS before issuing this command or use the commands
graceful shutdown option.
This command allows you to switch the system power on or off. the user can have the action
take place immediately or after a specified delay.
Notice this is roughly the equivalent to turning the system power off at the front panel switch.
There is no signal sent to the OS to bring the software down before power is turned off. To turn
the system off properly. you must ensure that the OS is in the proper shutdown state before
issuing this command. Use the proper OS commands or use the graceful shutdown option of
the Remote Power Control command.

The OS is not notified, no dump is taken on the way down, and so on.

Set Access
SA: Set access options—configures access for LAN and remote/modem ports
This command will disconnect modem, LAN, and web users if access is disabled.

Create Local Session

SE: Log into the system on local or remote port
Only valid from the local or remote/modem port, SE allows the user to leave the MP Command
Interface and enter a system session. Other mirrored MP users are placed in console mode. The
session user returns to the mirrored MP session on exit.The MP regularly checks the activity of
the session, closes the connection with the system, and, if the timeout period has elapsed, returns
the port to mirroring. The timeout period is set with the IT command. On HP-UX, the SE command
works on the local and remote ports.In HP-UX, use the System Administration Manager (SAM)
to add modem device files for the session UARTS. The modem type, CCITT or Bell must agree
with the remote port settings for the remote session port and always be Bell mode for the local
session port.
If the system and the MP Command Interface local or remote ports have been configured with
different port speeds, the baud rate changes to the rate specified by the OS for the duration of
the session.

Display Logs
SL: Display contents of the system status logs
This command displays the contents of the event logs that have been stored in nonvolatile
memory.
• System Event Log (SEL)—Events (filtered by alert level) and errors
• Forward progress—All events
• Current boot log—All events between “start of boot” and “boot complete”
• Previous boot log—The events from the previous boot
Reading the system event log turns off the system LED. Accessing this log is the only way to
turn off the system LED when it is flashing and alerts have not been acknowledged at the alert
display level.
Events are encoded data that provide system information to the user. Some well-known names
for similar data would be Chassis Codes or Post Codes. Events are produced by intelligent
hardware modules, the OS, and system firmware. Use SL to view the event log.
Navigate within the logs as follows:
• + — View the next block (forward in time)
• - — View the previous block (backward in time)
• Enter (<CR>) — View the next block in the previously selected direction (forward or backward
in time)
• D — Dump the entire log for capture or analysis
• F — First entry
• L — Last entry
• J — Jump to entry number __
• V — View mode configuration (text, keyword, hex)
• ? — Display this help menu
• Q — Quit

Security Options
SO: Configure security options and access control (users, passwords, and so on)
This command modifies the security parameters of the MP, which include login time-outs and
allowed password faults.
If configured, when you access the MP via the modem port, the MP hangs up and dials the user
back. This does not work if Modem Presence is set to not always connected with the CA
command.
If the mode is Single, the State is changed todisabledafter the first login.
A disabled user’s login is not accepted.

 4 Troubleshooting
This chapter provides troubleshooting instructions used in the maintenance of the hp Integrity
rx1620 Server.

Troubleshooting Tips
WARNING! Before removing a cover, always disconnect the AC power cord and unplug cables.
Disconnect the AC power cord 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 5 minutes with any cover (including
disk drives) removed. Damage to system components may result due to improper cooling airflow.
• For problems with an optional disk array controller board, refer to the appropriate manuals
provided with the array controller.
• For questions on the operation of HP e-DiagTools, refer to the HP e-DiagTools Administrator
Guide on the HP Web Site at http://docs.hp.com.
• For general information on HP Server products, refer to the HP Web Site and search for
“management” at http://docs.hp.com.

Troubleshooting Methodology
1. This is the entry point to the troubleshooting process. Here, you pick from a set of symptoms,
ranging from very simple (System LED is blinking) to the most difficult Machine Check
Abort (MCA) has occurred. The following is a list of symptom examples:
• System LED blinking
• System Alert present on console
• System will not power-up
• System will not boot
• Error/Event Message received
• Machine Check Abort (MCA) occurred
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-System 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 either the EFI shell command
line interface (CLI) or if the optional management processor card is installed, use
the MP commands to view the SEL.
3. At this point you will have a good idea about which area of the system requires further
analysis. For example, if the symptom was “system 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.
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 and verification steps.

Troubleshooting Tips 73
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
 NOTE: If multiple FRUs are identified as part of the solution, a fix cannot be guaranteed
unless all identified failed FRUs are replaced.

5. There may be specific recovery procedures you need to perform to finish the repair. For
example, if the display panel is replaced, you will need to restore customer specific
information.

Possible Problems
This section contains example HP Server problems and their possible solutions.

The system will not power-up

1. Review the installation procedures for the server. Refer to the hp Integrity rx1620 Installation
Guide.
2. Check all power connection cables.
3. Verify that power is available at the AC power receptacle. Check the receptacle output with
another device.
4. Check the power supply fans to see if they are operating. The fans will operate off of the dc
voltage generated by the power supply.
5. Check that the STBY (power good) LED located near the SCSI connector on the system board
is illuminated.
6. Check all connections from the power supply to the power distribution module.
7. Verify that all cables and modules are correctly connected. Especially check the display
panel connection.
8. If the system 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 system will not boot

1. Examine the display panel LEDs for warning or fault indications. The system LED will be
flashing yellow with a warning indication and flashing red with a fault indication.
2. Examine the four diagnostic LEDs for indications of specific warning or fault indications.
The diagnostic LEDs present patterns that categorize the source of the warning or fault.
3. Display and examine the system event log (SEL) and forward progress log (FPL) for further
information relating to warning or fault indication.
4. Review the firmware revisions of all firmware.
5. Use the BMC command line interface (cli) to cycle the system power, cli>pc off, cli>pc
on.
6. Turn the server off, wait at least twenty seconds, then turn the server back on to see if the
failure can be cleared.
7. Check that all DDR DIMMs are seated properly.
8. Check that the DDR DIMM configuration on the system board matches those approved. A
minimum of one DDR DIMM pair must be installed.
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.
10. Check that the processors are installed in the correct sockets and that each processor has a
power pod installed. Also verify that the processors are of the same type.
11. Check the boot order with the SCSI configuration utility.

74 Troubleshooting
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
 12. If there are no obvious errors, reflash the BMC firmware. Refer to Chapter 3: Utilities, for
instructions.
13. If the system will still not boot, it may be necessary to replace the base unit.

The system has intermittent failures

1. Examine the display panel LEDs for warning or fault indications. The system LED will be
flashing yellow with a warning indication and flashing red with a fault indication.
2. Examine the four diagnostic LEDs for indications of specific warning or fault indications.
The diagnostic LEDs present patterns that categorize the source of the warning or fault.
3. Display and examine the system event log (SEL) and forward progress log (FPL) for further
information relating to warning or fault indication.
4. Make sure that the system fan assemblies are fully seated.
5. Verify that the server is plugged into a power source that is within specifications described
on the label of the power supply.
6. Make sure that the internal SCSI chain is terminated and that termination is not enabled on
any of the drives. Note that with LVD SCSI, termination is provided in the cable.
7. Check that the processors are installed in the correct sockets and that terminators are installed
in all unused sockets.
8. Reseat the main memory DDR DIMMs.
9. If date and time or customer settings are being cleared, the system board battery may need
to be replaced.

The system 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:
1. Make sure that all cables and the AC power cord are plugged into their proper receptacles.
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.
3. Make sure that the server is turned on (the power-on light should be green and the fans
should be on).
4. Turn the server off, wait at least twenty seconds, then turn the server back on to see if the
failure can be cleared.
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.
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.
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.
8. Add the boards and options one at a time to determine which one is causing the problem.
9. If you have added any memory, make sure that the DDR DIMMs are seated properly in the
board. Also check the DDR DIMM configuration, and that the DDR DIMMs are matched
pairs.

Power goes off on the server and does not come back on
When certain critical conditions exist, the server shuts down all power.

Possible Problems 75
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
 The critical conditions that may shut down the server are:
• Critical temperature fluctuations or changes
• Voltage problems (external AC line)
• Power supply failure
If the server powers off, and before you try a restart, do the following:
1. Examine the display panel LEDs for warning or fault indications. The system LED will be
flashing yellow with a warning indication and flashing red with a fault indication.
2. Examine the four diagnostic LEDs for indications of specific warning or fault indications.
The diagnostic LEDs present patterns that categorize the source of the warning or fault.
3. Display and examine the system event log (SEL) and forward progress log (FPL) for further
information relating to warning or fault indication.
4. First check to make sure power is getting to the server. Plug a known working device into
the power outlet.
5. 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.

6. Check the system specifications and make sure the environmental temperature and voltage
are in the specified guidelines.
7. Monitor the system to make sure you are not experiencing further temperature and voltage
problems.

Troubleshooting and FRU identification

Once you have determined the current system state, you must troubleshoot the system to
determine what the problem symptoms are and what repair actions to take.
Use this guide to assist you in repairing the system by matching the problem symptom with the

Verifying Hard Disk Drive Operation

Each hard disk drive has an activity LED indicator on the front of the drive.

NOTE: On the hp Integrity rx1620 Server only the Activity LED is used. The Status LED is
disconnected.

Figure 4-1 LED Apertures on Hard Disk Drive

Lightpipes on the disk drive transmit light to these apertures from LEDs on the inside rear of
the hot-swap mass storage cage. Verify that the LED shows the correct activity indication for all
disk drives that you installed:
1. Turn on power to the HP Server and display monitor.
2. During the boot sequence, watch the Activity LED on each hard disk drive:
• Activity LED: The LED quickly cycles from amber to green. The LED stays steady green
until the drive spins up.
3. If the status LED were illuminated on any disk drives, the drive cage may not be correctly
installed. Check installation as follows:
a. Turn off the HP Server power switch and unplug the AC power cords and any cables.
b. Disconnect the power distribution cable between the drive cage and the power
distribution module and then reconnect it.
c. Verify that the SCSI interface is correctly installed from SCSI A channel connector on
the system board to the connector on the SCSI cage.

 d. Check the SCSI bus for proper loading,
e. Reconnect the AC power cords and any cables. Restart the HP Server to determine
whether the LEDs now become illuminated during the boot. If not, contact your reseller.
4. If the LED indicator on a single disk drive is not illuminated during boot, the disk drive
may be installed incorrectly, or its lightpipes may be damaged.
Check the lightpipe on the disk drive as follows:
a. Remove the disk drive.
b. Inspect the lightpipes for damage. If a lightpipe is damaged, contact your reseller.

CAUTION: The lightpipes are fragile. Be careful not to damage them when you inspect
them or when you reinsert the disk drive.

c. Reinstall the disk drive.

d. Restart the HP Server to determine whether the LED now becomes illuminated during
the boot. If not, contact your reseller.
5. Use the EFI shell command info io to check the SCSI drives.

Identifying and Diagnosing Hardware Problems

Should a failure occur, the system LED, the LAN LED, the diagnostic LEDs, and the system event
log (SEL) will help you identify the problem:
• LEDs. The system LED, LAN LED, and diagnostic LEDs on the display panel of the server
change color and blink in different patterns to help identify specific problems. LEDs on the
front and rear panels of the server display LAN activity.
• The System Event Log (SEL) provides detailed information about the errors identified by
the LEDs.
If the LEDs and SEL do not give you enough information for you to identify the problem you
are experiencing, HP also provides diagnostic tools with each operating system.

Power and System LEDs

The Power and System LEDs indicate the state of the system. When the System LED is blinking
yellow or red, a problem exists.

NOTE: When the optional management processor (MP) card is installed, the four diagnostic
LEDs on the display panel are disabled.

Systems with the Optional Management Processor Card Installed

The following system LED states exist for systems having a optional management processor card
installed.

The diagnostic LEDs warn of impending failures or present failures and allow you to take
preventive or corrective action, such as making a system backup or replacing a component. These
diagnostic LEDs are labeled 1, 2, 3 and 4.
• If no management processor card is installed, the boot progress is monitored by diagnostic
LEDs 1 through 4. During the boot-up the LEDs will turn on in sequence until the EFI prompt
is reached.
• If a management processor card is installed, the boot process will be monitored by the

• The system LED indicates the severity of the error. Check the system LED before proceeding
to analyze the sequence of diagnostic LEDs:
• System LED blinking YELLOW indicates a WARNING.
• System LED blinking RED indicates a FAULT.
• The diagnostic LEDs provide details about the specific error:
• Solid red indicates the failing part or sub-system.
• Off or solid green diagnostic LEDs provide additional details about the failure.
The pattern of illuminated LEDs may be used to identify the category of the fault or warning.
For example, if diagnostic LED one is red, there is a problem with memory. However, if diagnostic
LEDs one and two are both red, there is a problem with the system processor.
If the diagnostic LEDs indicate an error, check the EFI shell command line interface (CLI) cli>sl
e to display the system event log (SEL) for a more detailed explanations of the failure.
The faults and warnings fall into several general categories.

SEL and FPL Log Entries

This section is a quick reference for the intelligent platform management interface (IPMI) events
recorded in the SEL and FPL files. These logs are available via the management processor (MP)
card interface or the BMC command line interface (CLI).
• All entries from the SEL are forwarded to the FPL. The FPL is a circular log so the newest
entries replace the oldest. The FPL contains forward progress messages from the BMC,
System firmware, EFI, and the OS.
• The SEL will not accept new entries once it is full and contains only those events considered
of major importance to system operation.
• Both contain type 02 and E0 messages.
• A triplet is formed from the SensorType, EventType, and the lower nibble of the Data1 fields
of Type 02 events. MP firmware displays the triplet in the Keyword field.

NOTE: Systems with firmware version 2.0 or higher also have a clearlogs command that
will clear out the log files should they become full.

Accessing the logs with BMC CLI commands

The cli>sl -fcommand displays the forward progress log. For example:

Processor Bus
The processor bus (Front Side Bus, FSB) in this product runs at 200 MHz. Data on the FSB are
transferred at a double data rate, which allows a peak FSB bandwidth of 6.4 GB/sec.

I/O and Memory Controller

The hp Integrity rx1620 Server supports the following features of the I/O and memory controller
chip:
• 3.3 GB/s peak IO bandwidth.
• provides 7 communication paths.
• Peak memory bandwidth of 8.5 GB/s.
• 2 memory cells, 144 data bits each.

Memory Architecture
The memory subsystem includes the memory controller and the DDR SDRAM memory DIMMs,
along with the memory bus traces and required termination. The memory subsystem provides
two memory cells, 144 bits wide each (128 bits of data, 16 bits of ECC). Each cell can accommodate
up to 6 DIMM slots; however, in Nemesis, power limitations restrict the total loaded DIMM
count to 6. Two of the DIMMs connect to cell 0, and the other 4 DIMM slots connect to cell 1. For
early Nemesis prototypes, 8 DIMM connectors will be loaded onto system boards to facilitate
power characterization; if actual power consumption is low enough, a change request could be
entertained to increase the DIMM count to 8.The memory bus clock speed is 125MHz, and the
data transfer rate is 250Mtransfers/second as data is transmitted on both edges of the clock. The
peak data bandwidth for this memory subsystem design is 8 GB/s. DIMMs must be loaded in
pairs. Memory is protected by data error correcting codes (ECC). The hardware implementation
supports the chip-spare for specific four-DIMM configurations.The minimum amount of memory
that can be installed is 512MB (2-256MB DIMMs). The maximum amount of memory that can
be installed is dependent on the largest DIMM size (density) qualified for use. 16GB is the
maximum memory (based on 2GB DIMMs).The DIMMs used must be low-profile (1.2") DIMMs,
to fit into the 1U chassis. The DIMMs are standard DDR2100 registered DIMMs. Only DIMMs
qualified by HP for the hp Integrity rx1620 Server platform will be supported.

Architecture
The memory interface supports two DDR cells, each of which is 144 data bits wide. The memory
subsystem physical design uses a comb-filter termination scheme for both the data and
address/control buses. This part of the topology is similar to other DDR designs in the computer
industry. Clocks are distributed directly from the memory interface; each clock pair drives 2
DIMMs. Memory data is protected by Error Correcting Code (ECC). 8 ECC bits per DIMM protect
64 bits of data. The use of ECC allows correction of single-bit errors, and detection of multi-bit
errors. DIMMs without ECC will not be qualified or supported.The memory subsystem features:
address parity, address buffering, clock buffering, and industry standard SPD (Serial Presence
Detect), IEEE 1149.1 Boundary Scan, and power bypassing near the memory components. The
memory features x4 chip-spare and x8 detect. The memory subsystem does not support hot
spare, mirroring, or hot-plug. The memory subsystem uses 1x direct attach mode, and does not
use multiplexers.The Memory Block Diagram indicates the recommended load order for DIMM
pairs; DIMM0A/B should be loaded first, followed by DIMM1A/B, and so on.

 Figure B-2 Memory Block Diagram

DIMMs
The memory subsystem will only support DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic
Random Access Memory) technology utilizing industry-standard PC2100 type DDR SDRAM
DIMMs, 1.2" tall. This is expected to be the standard height available at first release and is currently
being used by high-volume products. The DIMMs use a 184-pin JEDEC standard connector.
DIMMs must be loaded in pairs. To enable chip sparing, four DIMMs of the same density must
be loaded with specific configuration rules. The following table summarizes memory solutions:
Table B-1 Memory Array Capacities
Min. / Max Single DIMM DDR SDRAM Count, Type and Technology
Memory Size
Size

0.5GB / 3GB 256MB DIMM 18 x 32Mb x 4 DDR SDRAMs (128Mb)

1GB / 4GB 512MB DIMM 18 x 32Mb x 4 DDR SDRAMs (256Mb)

2GB / 8GB 1024MB DIMM 18 x 64Mb x 4 DDR SDRAMs (512Mb)

4GB / 16GB 2048MB DIMM 36 x 128Mb x 4 DDR SDRAMs (512Mb, stacked)

DIMM

Chip Spare Functionality

The memory subsystem design supports chip spare functionality. Chip spare enables an entire
SDRAM chip on a DIMM to be bypassed (logically replaced) in the event that a multi-bit error
is detected on that SDRAM. In order to use the chip spare functionality, only DIMMs built with
x4 SDRAM parts can be used, and these DIMMs must be loaded in quads (2 DIMMs per memory

System Board 115

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
 cell, loaded in the same location in each memory cell). Each DIMM within a quad must be identical
to all the other DIMMs in the quad.
Using the DIMM loading order indicated in the Memory Block Diagram, chip spare can be
achieved if 4 identical DIMMs are loaded in the slots DIMM0A/B and DIMM1A/B. Addition of
a pair of DIMMs beyond this quad (DIMM2A/B) negates the ability to support chip spare, so the
maximum DIMM count with chip spare enabled is four. Note that if the system configuration is
ever expanded to accommodate 8 DIMMs, chip spare is enabled if identical DIMM quads are
loaded in slots DIMM0/1(A/B) and DIMM2/3(A/B).
Chip spare enables an entire DDR SDRAM chip on a DIMM to be bypassed in the event that a
multi-bit error is detected on the DDR SDRAM. In order to use the chip spare functionality on
your system, only DIMMs built with ×4 DDR SDRAM parts can be used, and these DIMMs must
be loaded in quads.

Serial Presence Detect (SPD)

Each DIMM contains an inter IC (I2C) EEPROM whose content describes the module's
characteristics: speed, techno, revision, vendor, and so on. This feature is called serial presence
detect (SPD). Firmware typically uses this information to detect unmatched pairs of DIMMs,
and configure certain memory subsystem parameters. The SPD information for DIMMs loaded
in the system will also be accessible to the baseboard management controller (BMC) through the
I2C bus.
