3-79 Compaq Integrated Remote Console The standard Compaq Integrated Remote Console performs a wide range of configuration activities. Some of the console's features include: s Accessible using ANSI terminal s Operates independently of the operating system s Provides for remote server reboot s Provides access to system configuration s Uses out-of-band communication with dedicated management modem installed in the server For more information, see the Integrated Remote Console User Guide. IMPORTANT: Before configuring ASR-2, verify that the System Configuration Utility and Diagnostics software are installed on the system partition. ASR-2 must have this to start Compaq Utilities after a system restart. Compaq recommends this even if you configure ASR-2 to start the operating system. Compaq Health Driver The Compaq Health Driver continually resets the ASR-2 timer according to the frequency you specified in the System Configuration Utility (for example, 10 minutes). If the ASR-2 timer counts down to zero before being reset, due to an operating system crash, or a server lock-up, ASR-2 restarts the server into either Compaq Utilities or the operating system (as indicated by the System Configuration parameters). The default value is 10 minutes. The allowable settings are 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes For remote and off-site (unattended) servers, setting the software error recovery time-out for 5 minutes reduces the server downtime and allows the server to recover quickly. For local (attended) servers located onsite, you can set the software error recovery time-out for 20 or 30 minutes, giving you time to arrive at the server if you wish to manually diagnose the problem. The Compaq Health Driver is independent of the ASR-2 timer. You should load it enabling the ASR-2 timer. This allows the driver to detect and log information about numerous hardware and software errors in the Integrated Management Log. However, you cannot enable the ASR-2 timer without loading the Compaq Health Driver. Before ASR-2 restarts the server, it will record any information available about the condition of the operating system in the Critical Error Log, or the Integrated Management Log depending on the server support. This information can be used to diagnose an operating system crash or server lock-up, while still allowing the server to be restarted.
