Diagnostics and Troubleshooting 3-57 ASR-2 Security The standard Compaq password functions differently during ASR-2 than during a typical system startup. During ASR-2, the system does not prompt for the power-on password to enable ASR-2 to restart the operating system or Compaq Utilities without user intervention. To maintain system security, set the server to boot in Network Server Mode, an option in the System Configuration Utility. The option ensures that the server keyboard is locked until you enter the keyboard password. Select an administrator password an option in the System Configuration Utility. During attended ASR-2 (local or remote), you must enter the password before any modifications can be made to the server configuration. Server Health Logs In some servers, Server Health Logs are replaced by the IML, if it is supported. See "Integrated Management Display" in this chapter for more information. Server Health Logs contain information to help identify and correct any server failures and correlate hardware changes with server failure. Server Health Logs are stored in nonvolatile RAM and consist of the Critical Error Log and the Revision History Table. If errors occur, information about the errors is automatically stored in the Critical Error Log. Whenever boards or components that support revision tracking are updated to a new revision, the Revision History Table is updated. ASR-2 Integrated Management Log Messages The IML or Critical Error Log for Server Health Log, records memory errors, and catastrophic hardware and software errors that cause the system to fail. The information helps you quickly to identify and correct the problem, minimizing downtime. You can view the IML or Critical Error Log through Compaq Insight Manager. The Diagnostics Utility either resolves the error or suggests corrective action in systems that do not support event logs. The IML or Critical Error Log identifies and records all the following errors. Each error type is explained in Table 3-23.

Server Health Logs
In some servers, Server Health Logs are replaced by the IML, if it is supported. See

in this chapter for more information.
Server Health Logs contain information to help identify and correct any server failures and
correlate hardware changes with server failure. Server Health Logs are stored in nonvolatile
RAM and consist of the Critical Error Log and the Revision History Table.
If errors occur, information about the errors is automatically stored in the Critical Error Log.
Whenever boards or components that support revision tracking are updated to a new revision,
the Revision History Table is updated.
