DRVCFG Screens

Adapter List Screen

The Adapter List screen displays when the configuration utility is first started. This screen displays a scrolling list of up to 256 SAS controllers in the system, and information about each of them. Use the arrow keys to select a SAS controller, and press Enter to view and modify the selected SAS controller's properties.

You can view and modify the SAS controller whether it is enabled or disabled. You can use the Boot Support setting in the Adapter Properties menu to change the status of this setting. You must reconnect the EFI Driver in order for a new Boot Support setting to take effect.

The following are the descriptions for the Adapter List screen.

Adapter

Indicates the specific SAS Controller type.

PCI Bus

Indicates the PCI Bus number assigned by the system BIOS to an adapter (0x00

 

- 0xFF, 0 - 255 decimal)

PCI Dev

Indicates the PCI Device assigned by the system BIOS to an adapter (range

 

0x00 - 0x1F, 0 - 31 decimal)

PCI Fnc

Indicates the PCI Function assigned by the system BIOS to an adapter (range

 

0x00 - 0x7, 0 - 7 decimal)

FW Revision

Displays the Fusion MPT firmware version and type (IR or IT)

Status

Indicates whether the adapter is or is not eligible for software control (enabled,

 

disabled or error)

 

Enabled

Indicates the EFI Driver is either currently controlling the

 

 

adapter, or will attempt to control the adapter upon reload.

 

Disabled

Indicates the EFI Driver is either not controlling the adapter, or

 

 

will discontinue control of the adapter upon reload.

 

Error

Indicates that the EFI Driver encountered a problem with the

 

 

adapter. Viewing and modifying settings for the adapter is

allowed but the information and functionality available may be limited.

INTEGRITY RX3600 specifications

The HP Integrity RX3600 is a high-performance server designed to address the demanding needs of enterprises that require robust computing capabilities, reliability, and scalability. Part of the HP Integrity server family, the RX3600 is built on the Itanium architecture, which is known for its exceptional processing power and advanced features that support mission-critical applications.

One of the main features of the RX3600 is its capability to handle multiple workloads with ease. The server supports up to 64 GB of RAM, allowing for efficient multitasking and enhanced performance in data-intensive environments. Its modular design also enables organizations to scale up their systems by adding additional memory or processors as needed, making it a flexible choice for growing businesses.

The RX3600 is equipped with HP's Integrity Virtual Machines (VMs), which provide virtualization capabilities that allow businesses to run multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical server. This not only maximizes resource utilization but also simplifies management by reducing the number of physical servers required in the data center.

Another significant characteristic of the RX3600 is its advanced reliability features. The server is designed with fault-tolerant components, including redundant power supplies and cooling systems. This ensures that the server remains operational even in the event of hardware failures. Additionally, HP's Error Correction Code (ECC) memory helps detect and correct data corruption, further enhancing the system's reliability.

For security, the HP Integrity RX3600 includes built-in features such as Secure Boot, which ensures that the server boots using only trusted firmware and software. This protects against unauthorized changes and vulnerabilities that could compromise data integrity.

In terms of connectivity, the RX3600 offers multiple I/O options, including advanced networking capabilities that support high-speed data transfer and improved bandwidth. This is critical for organizations that rely on data-intensive applications and need to maintain seamless connectivity.

Furthermore, the server supports a range of operating systems, including HP-UX and Linux, making it adaptable to various enterprise environments. Its robust performance, reliability, and scalability make the HP Integrity RX3600 an ideal choice for businesses looking to optimize their IT infrastructure and support their critical workloads with confidence.
