Management tools 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. ROMPaq utility The ROMPaq utility enables you to upgrade the system firmware (BIOS) or Lights-Out 100 firmware. To upgrade the firmware, insert a ROMPaq diskette into the diskette drive or ROMPaq USB Key into an available USB port and boot the system. The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of available firmware revisions. For more information about the ROMPaq utility, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/support). Configuration and utilities 70

Automatic Server Recovery
ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such

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
