Error Recovery The System Configuration Utility settings should resemble the settings in Table 5-2 when you enable ASR-2 to initiate Diagnostics. Table 5-2: System Configuration Utility Settings for Booting into Diagnostics Option Serial interface Dial-in status Dial-out status Setting COM1, COM2 Enabled Enabled Description Select the communications port for the modem used by the pager and the remote ASR-2 functions. The options are COM1 and COM2. Set Dial-In Status to Enabled. Be sure that the Reset Boot option is set to Boot Diagnostics. When the system starts because of an ASR-2 reset, it starts to Diagnostics, sets the Management Modem to auto-answer, and waits for the administrator to dial in and run Diagnostics. You automatically disable this option when you configure the software error recovery start option to Boot Operating System. When ASR-2 pages you, you cannot dial in unless ASR-2 exceeds 10, the threshold number of server restart retries. When this happens, ASR-2 restarts the server into Diagnostics and places the modem in auto-answer mode. Allows ASR-2 to dial out to a remote workstation. If you selected this option, Dial-In Status is automatically selected. To use the dial-out feature, set Dial-Out Status to Enabled and set the Dial-Out String to the correct phone number. You must also set the Reset Boot option to Boot Diagnostics. When the system restarts because of an ASR-2 reset, the administrator is paged by the Pager Status and Pager Dial String, and then the system restarts to Diagnostics and dials out to the phone number provided in the Dial-Out string. The dial-out number will be tried five times. If it fails to connect after five attempts, the modem goes into auto-answer mode. continued HP Servers Troubleshooting Guide 5-11
