To run Compaq Utilities remotely over an IP network, you need Compaq Insight Manager 2.10 or later or a Telnet Terminal Emulator with VT100 or ANSI capabilities. If you are notified that ASR-2 restarted the server and you have restarted to Compaq Utilities, use the INSPECT Utility or Compaq Insight Manager to view the critical error in the Critical Error Log. Run Diagnostics to diagnose and resolve the problem. Automatic Server Recovery (ASR-2)-Other Uses You can configure ASR-2 to restart the server into Compaq Utilities to diagnose the critical error or to start the operating system to return the server to operational status as rapidly as possible. When you enable ASR-2 to start the operating system, the server tries to start from the primary partition. In this mode, ASR-2 can page you if a critical error occurs, but you cannot access Compaq Utilities. When you enable ASR-2 to start Compaq Utilities, the server restarts after a critical error and loads Compaq Utilities from the system partition onto the hard drive. Starting Compaq Utilities You can configure the server to start Compaq Utilities in four different ways: Without remote console support; for example, to run Compaq Utilities from the server console only With remote console support using modems for dial-in access With remote console support using a modem to dial a predetermined telephone number With remote console support through a network connection (IP or IPX)

Compaq ProLiant DL580 Server Maintenance and Service Guide
Hardware Requirements
To use this level of ASR-2 over a modem, you need the following:
A third-party PCI or optional Hayes modem
System Configuration Utility and Diagnostics Utility installed on the system partition of
the hard drive
ASR-2 configured to load Compaq Utilities after restart
Remote Operations
To run Compaq Utilities remotely over an IPX using the Network feature,
you need
Compaq Insight Manager 2.0 or later or an NVT (Novell Virtual Terminal) Terminal Emulator
with VT100 or ANSI terminal capabilities.
To run Compaq Utilities remotely over an IP network,
you need Compaq Insight
Manager 2.10 or later or a Telnet Terminal Emulator with VT100 or ANSI capabilities. If you
are notified that ASR-2 restarted the server and you have restarted to Compaq Utilities, use the
INSPECT Utility or Compaq Insight Manager to view the critical error in the Critical Error Log.
Run Diagnostics to diagnose and resolve the problem.
Automatic Server Recovery (ASR-2)
Other Uses
You can configure ASR-2 to restart the server into Compaq Utilities to diagnose the critical
error or to start the operating system to return the server to operational status as rapidly as
possible.
When you enable ASR-2 to start the operating system, the server tries to start from the primary
partition. In this mode, ASR-2 can page you if a critical error occurs, but you cannot access
Compaq Utilities.
When you enable ASR-2 to start Compaq Utilities, the server restarts after a critical error and
loads Compaq Utilities from the system partition onto the hard drive.
Starting Compaq Utilities
You can configure the server to start Compaq Utilities in four different ways:
Without remote console support; for example, to run Compaq Utilities from the server
console only
With remote console support using modems for dial-in access
With remote console support using a modem to dial a predetermined telephone number
With remote console support through a network connection (IP or IPX)
