Redundant ROM Support
The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM
support. The server has a 2-MB ROM that acts as two separate 1-MB ROMs. In the
standard implementation, one side of the ROM contains the current ROM program
version, while the other side of the ROM contains the backup version.
Safety and Security Benefits
When you flash the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the backup ROM and saves
the current ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the existing ROM
version if the new ROM becomes corrupted for any reason. This feature protects the
previous ROM version, even if you experience a power failure while flashing the
ROM.
Access to Redundant ROM Settings
Use ROMPaq utilities to create a backup ROM image before upgrading the
configuration or to restore saved ROM data.
1. Access RBSU by pressing the F9 key when prompted during power up.
2. Select Advanced Options.
3. Select ROM Selection.
4. Select one of the ROM banks as the system ROM.
5. Press the Enter key.
6. Press the Esc key to exit the current menu or press the F10 key to exit RBSU.
7. Restart the server.
When the server boots, the system identifies whether the current ROM bank is
corrupt. If a corrupt ROM is detected, the system boots from the backup ROM and
alerts you through POST or IML that the ROM bank is corrupt.
If both the current and backup versions of the ROM are corrupt, the server
automatically enters the ROMPaq disaster recovery mode. To perform this
procedure, refer to “ROMPaq Disaster Recovery” in Appendix D.
