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 and diagnose the problem.
The Compaq Health Driver is independent of the ASR-2 timer. You can load it without
enabling the ASR-2 timer. This allows the driver to log information in the Server Health
Logs without restarting the server if a critical error occurs. However, you cannot enable the
ASR-2 timer without loading the Compaq Health Driver.
The following ASR-2 flow chart shows you the sequence of events after a hardware or
software error occurs:
If the server continues experiencing
hardware/software errors and the
number of ASR cycles exceed the
specified number of recovery
attempts, the server will log an error
to the Server Health Log and boot
the Compaq Utilities from the system
partition on the hard drive
