Automatic Server Recovery-2

Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2) lets the server restart automatically
from the operating system or the Compaq Utilities. To use this feature, you
must use the System Configuration Utility to install Compaq Utilities in the
system partition.
You can tell ASR-2 to restart your server after a critical hardware or software
error occurs. Using the Compaq System Configuration Utility, configure the
system for either automatic recovery or for attended local or remote access to
diagnostic and configuration tools.
You can also configure ASR-2 to page an administrator when the system
restarts. ASR-2 depends on the application and driver that routinely notifies
the ASR-2 hardware of proper system operations. If the time between ASR-2
notifications exceeds the specified period, ASR-2 assumes a fault has occurred
and initiates the recovery process.
To configure ASR-2, follow this procedure:
1. Execute the System Configuration Utility.
2. Select View and Edit Details.
3. Set the software error recovery status to Enabled.
4. Set the software error recovery time-out.
The available recovery features are:
Software Error Recovery – automatically restarts the server after a
software-induced server failure
Environmental Recovery – allows the server to restart when
temperature, fan, or AC power conditions return to normal
