6-78 Compaq ProLiant 8000 Servers Maintenance and Service Guide Table 6-19 Compaq System Configuration Utility Pager Settings for Booting into Compaq Utilities continued Pager Data Setting Description Network host name CPQHOU Enter the network name of the server. Use underscores instead of spaces within the name-for example, Compaq_Server. If you are using IPX network access to the Compaq Utilities, this server name is used to advertise NVT host services. This server name displays in the Compaq Insight Manager server list when the program determines it can communicate using NVT. Set this name to be the same as the server name you assign when the host OS is running. Network card slot Slot # Select the slot number of the network interface card you wish to use for network access to Compaq Utilities. Network frame type ETHERNET_I I Select the frame type for the network. Selections include both Ethernet and Token Ring topologies. Network IP address Enter the IP address for this server in standard dot notation. Note: This is not used if you select Custom for Network controller. You must enter the IP address in the NET.CFG file that you load into the system partition. Network IP net mask Enter the net mask for this server in standard dot notation. Note: This is not used if you select Custom for network controller. You must enter the IP address in the NET.CFG file that you load into the system partition. Network IP router address Enter the router to be used for this server in standard dot notation. Note: This is not used if you select Custom for network controller. You must enter the IP address in the NET.CFG file that you load into the system partition. If you configure the server to boot into Compaq Utilities, it prepares for remote communications. You can remotely run Diagnostics software, the Inspect Utility, or the System Configuration Utility using a workstation running terminal emulation software, such as Compaq Insight Manager or PC Anywhere. Booting into the Operating System When you enable ASR-2 to restart into the operating system and a critical error occurs, ASR-2 logs the error in the Critical Error Log or IML and restarts the server. The system ROM pages the designated administrator, then executes the normal restart process. IMPORTANT: When you enable ASR-2 to restart into the operating system, Modem Dial-In Status, Network Status, and Modem Dial-Out Status are automatically disabled. In this mode, ASR-2 can page you if a critical error occurs, but you cannot access the server, and the server cannot dial out to a remote workstation. If the ASR-2 feature cannot restart the server within 10 attempts, it logs a critical error in the Critical Error Log or IML restarts the server into the Compaq Utilities, and puts the modem into auto-answer mode.

Description
Network host
name
CPQHOU
Enter the network name of the server. Use underscores instead of
spaces within the name
—
for example, Compaq_Server. If you are using
IPX network access to the Compaq Utilities, this server name is used to
advertise NVT host services. This server name displays in the Compaq
Insight Manager server list when the program determines it can
communicate using NVT. Set this name to be the same as the server
name you assign when the host OS is running.
Network card
slot
Slot #
Select the slot number of the network interface card you wish to use for
network access to Compaq Utilities.
Network frame
type
ETHERNET_II
Select the frame type for the network. Selections include both Ethernet
and Token Ring topologies.
Network IP
address
Enter the IP address for this server in standard dot notation.
Note:
This is not used if you select Custom for Network controller. You
must enter the IP address in the NET.CFG file that you load into the
system partition.
Network IP net
mask
Enter the net mask for this server in standard dot notation.
Note:
This is not used if you select Custom for network controller. You
must enter the IP address in the NET.CFG file that you load into the
system partition.
Network IP
router address
Enter the router to be used for this server in standard dot notation.
Note:
This is not used if you select Custom for network controller. You
must enter the IP address in the NET.CFG file that you load into the
system partition.
If you configure the server to boot into Compaq Utilities, it prepares for remote
communications. You can remotely run Diagnostics software, the Inspect Utility, or the System
Configuration Utility using a workstation running terminal emulation software, such as Compaq
Insight Manager or PC Anywhere.
Booting into the Operating System
When you enable ASR-2 to restart into the operating system and a critical error occurs, ASR-2
logs the error in the Critical Error Log or IML and restarts the server. The system ROM pages
the designated administrator, then executes the normal restart process.
IMPORTANT:
When you enable ASR-2 to restart into the operating system, Modem Dial-In Status,
Network Status, and Modem Dial-Out Status are automatically disabled. In this mode, ASR-2 can page
you if a critical error occurs, but you cannot access the server, and the server cannot dial out to a remote
workstation.
If the ASR-2 feature cannot restart the server within 10 attempts, it logs a critical error in the
Critical Error Log or IML restarts the server into the Compaq Utilities, and puts the modem into
auto-answer mode.
