3-48 Compaq ProLiant 6400R Maintenance and Service Guide Memory Fault Recovery Tracking (with option upgrade kit) Remote-Flash Redundant ROM These are discussed in more detail on the server documentation CD. Automatic Server Recovery-2 ASR-2 lets the server restart automatically from the operating system or the Compaq Utilities. To use this feature, you must use the System Configuration Utility to install Compaq Utilities in the system partition. You can enable the ASR-2 feature to restart a server after a critical hardware or software error occurs. If a critical error occurs, the server records the error information in the IML, restarts the system, and pages you. Using the Compaq System Configuration Utility, configure the system for automatic recovery or for attended local or remote access to diagnostic and configuration tools. NOTE: ASR-2 is available only on operating systems using the ASR-2 drivers provided by Compaq. You can also configure ASR-2 to page an administrator when the system restarts. ASR-2 depends on the application and driver routinely notifying the ASR-2 hardware of proper system operations. If the time between ASR-2 notifications exceeds the specified period, ASR-2 assumes that a fault has occurred and initiates the recovery. To configure ASR-2: 1. Run the System Configuration Utility. 2. Select View and Edit Details. 3. Set the software error recovery status to Enabled. 4. Set the software error recovery time-out. 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 IML Resets the server Pages you if a modem is present and you selected Paging 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.
