Often the server restarts successfully, making unattended recovery the ideal choice for remote locations where trained service personnel are not immediately available. ASR-2 tries to restart the server up to 10 times. If ASR-2 cannot restart the server within 10 attempts, it places a critical error in the Critical Error Log, starts the server into Compaq Utilities, and enables remote access (if you configured remote access). To use this level of ASR-2, you must configure ASR-2 to load the operating system after restart. Attended Recovery For attended recovery, ASR-2 performs the following actions: s Logs the error information to the Critical Error Log s Resets the server s Pages you (if a modem is present and you selected Paging) s Starts Compaq Utilities from the hard drive s Enables remote access During system configuration, these utilities are placed on the system utilities partition of the hard drive. If you have configured for dial-in access and have a modem with an auto-answer feature installed, you can dial in and remotely diagnose or reconfigure the server. If you have configured the Compaq Utilities for network access, you can access the utilities over the network. You can use Compaq Insight Manager for dial-in or network access.

Compaq ProLiant 1600 and ProLiant 1200 Servers Maintenance and Service Guide
The available recovery features are:
Software Error Recovery
– automatically restarts the server after a software-
induced server failure
Environmental Recovery
– allows the server to restart when temperature, fan, or
AC power conditions return to normal
Unattended Recovery
For unattended recovery, ASR-2 logs the error information to the Critical Error Log, resets
the server, pages you (if a modem is present and you selected paging), and tries to restart
the operating system. Often the server restarts successfully, making unattended recovery
the ideal choice for remote locations where trained service personnel are not immediately
available.
ASR-2 tries to restart the server up to 10 times. If ASR-2 cannot restart the server within 10
attempts, it places a critical error in the Critical Error Log, starts the server into Compaq
Utilities, and enables remote access (if you configured remote access).
To use this level of ASR-2, you must configure ASR-2 to load the operating system after
restart.
Attended Recovery
For attended recovery, ASR-2 performs the following actions:
Logs the error information to the Critical Error Log
Resets the server
Pages you (if a modem is present and you selected Paging)
Starts Compaq Utilities from the hard drive
Enables remote access
During system configuration, these utilities are placed on the system utilities partition of
the hard drive.
If you have configured for dial-in access and have a modem with an auto-answer feature
installed, you can dial in and remotely diagnose or reconfigure the server.
If you have configured the Compaq Utilities for network access, you can access the utilities
over the network. You can use Compaq Insight Manager for dial-in or network access.
