To access the following screens, use the arrow keys to select the screen, and press Enter on the appropriate field:

•RAID Properties

•SAS Topology

•Advanced Adapter Properties

The following are the descriptions for the Adapter Properties screen.

Adapter

Indicates the specific SAS Controller type.

PCI Address

Displays the PCI Address assigned by the system BIOS to the adapter.

 

• Bus value range 0x00 - 0xFF, 0 - 255 decimal

 

• Device value range 0x00 - 0x1F, 0 - 31 decimal

 

• Function range 0x00 - 0x7, 0 - 7 decimal

FW Revision

Displays the MPT firmware version and type in the format (x.xx.xx.xx- yy),

 

where x.xx.xx.xx refers to the FW version and yy refers to the type. The

 

currently supported type is IR.l).

SAS Address

Displays the SAS Address assigned to this adapter.

FW Revision

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

Status

Indicates whether an adapter is eligible for configuration utility software

 

control or is reserved for control by other software (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.

Boot Support

Specifies whether an adapter is eligible for configuration utility software

 

control or is reserved for control by other software (Enabled BIOS & OS,

 

Enabled BIOS Only, Enabled OS Only or Disabled).

• Enabled BIOS & OS - SAS controller is controlled by both the BIOS and OS driver.

• Enabled BIOS Only - SAS controller is controlled only by the BIOS. This setting may not be supported by all OS drivers. For example, it is not possible to disable an adapter in a Windows driver.

• Enabled OS Only - SAS controller is controlled only by the OS driver.

• Disabled - SAS controller is not controlled by the BIOS when the SAS controller is loaded. However, the adapter is still visible through the configuration protocol.

Changes to the Boot Support setting are reflected in the Status field of the Adapter List menu. The new setting will do not take effect until the BIOS is reloaded (system reboot).

RAID Properties Screens

There are four screens within RAID properties. To access the screens, select RAID Properties from the Adapter Properties screen. The Select New Array Type screen displays.

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.
