3-80 Compaq ProLiant 8000 Intel Pentium III Xeon 700MHz Servers Maintenance and Service Guide 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 Integrated Management Log (IML), or Critical Error Log for Server Health Log, records memory errors, as well as catastrophic hardware and software errors that cause the system to fail. This information helps you quickly identify and correct the problem, thus 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 below. Table 3-21 ASR-2 IML or Critical Error Log Messages Message Abnormal Program Termination ASR-2 detected by ROM ASR-2 Test Event Automatic Server Recovery Base Memory Parity Error Automatic Server Recovery Extended Memory Parity Error Automatic Server Recovery Memory Parity Error Automatic Server Recovery Reset Limit Reached Battery Failing Description The operating system has encountered an abnormal situation that has caused a system failure. An ASR-2 activity has been detected and logged by the system ROM. The System Configuration Utility generated a test alert. The system detected a data error in base memory following a reset due to the Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2) timer expiration. The system detected a data error in extended memory following a reset due to the ASR-2 timer expiration. The system ROM was unable to allocate enough memory to create a stack. Then, it was unable to put a message on the screen or continue starting the server. The maximum number of system resets due to ASR-2 timer expiration has been reached, resulting in the loading of Compaq Utilities. Low system battery warning. Replace battery within 7 days to prevent loss of nonvolatile configuration memory. Failure of the battery supporting the system's nonvolatile RAM is imminent. continued

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 Integrated Management Log (IML), or Critical Error Log for Server Health Log, records
memory errors, as well as catastrophic hardware and software errors that cause the system to
fail. This information helps you quickly identify and correct the problem, thus 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 below.
Table 3-21
ASR-2 IML or Critical Error Log Messages
Message
Description
Abnormal Program Termination
The operating system has encountered an abnormal situation that has
caused a system failure.
ASR-2 detected by ROM
An ASR-2 activity has been detected and logged by the system ROM.
ASR-2 Test Event
The System Configuration Utility generated a test alert.
Automatic Server Recovery
Base Memory Parity Error
The system detected a data error in base memory following a reset due to
the Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2) timer expiration.
Automatic Server Recovery
Extended Memory Parity Error
The system detected a data error in extended memory following a reset
due to the ASR-2 timer expiration.
Automatic Server Recovery
Memory Parity Error
The system ROM was unable to allocate enough memory to create a stack.
Then, it was unable to put a message on the screen or continue starting
the server.
Automatic Server Recovery
Reset Limit Reached
The maximum number of system resets due to ASR-2 timer expiration has
been reached, resulting in the loading of Compaq Utilities.
Battery Failing
Low system battery warning. Replace battery within 7 days to prevent loss
of nonvolatile configuration memory. Failure of the battery supporting the
system
s nonvolatile RAM is imminent.
