I assume you have a DL380 G4, not BL (they're blades)

Re: HP BL 380 G4
I've upgraded the DL380 to the most recent BIOS update available off this site. Since the update the performance of the server has been dire. Running benchmarks shows that the server is running at the equivalent speed of a 500Mhz Xeon, rather than the 3.6Ghz. The first thing that springs to mind, is that if this was a generic motherboard, I would then have to either
a) Go into the bios and select "Standard defaults" or "Optimized defaults" and maybe set the CPU detection to auto (or manually set up the speed)
b) on older motherboards I would have to again enter the bios, and enable bios caching and/or shadowing, and manually set the bus speed, RAM speed etc.
I can't actually find any of these things within the bios on here, I just get what I'm given.
Is this likely to be the cause of the slowdown post bios upgrade, or is there some other follow up task I havent spotted yet.
Regards
J

Re: HP BL 380 G4
What benchmark program are you using to test the system?
There are no settings in the RBSU to change what you want (shadow bios, bios caching).

If you install this program is the cpu running at the proper speeds?

Re: HP BL 380 G4
Thanks for your reply I can confirm that the server power scheme is set to always on.
I have installed CPU-Z and it is showing that the clock speed and muliplier settings are fluctuating between 3.5Ghz and 2.8GHz.

Unfortunately it's a 6 hour drive for Graham, or a 2 hour drive for me to go onsite and disable HT (ILO is such a wonderful thing with hindsight :) )
