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. You
can disable ASR from the System Management Homepage or through UEFI System Utilities.
