Automatic Server Recovery
ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such
as a blue screen, ABEND, or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the ASR timer, starts when the System
Management driver, also known as the Health Driver, is loaded. When the operating system is
functioning properly, the system periodically resets the timer. However, when the operating system fails,
the timer expires and restarts the server.
ASR increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time after a system hang or
shutdown. At the same time, the HP SIM console notifies you by sending a message to a designated
pager number that ASR has restarted the system. You can disable ASR from the HP SIM console or
through RBSU.
