10-16 Server Management
To configure ASR, follow this procedure:
1. Execute the Compaq 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 Compaq Health Driver resets the ASR timer according to the
frequency specified in the configuration utility (for example, 10
minutes). If the ASR timer counts down to zero before being reset, the
ASR utility restarts the server into either the Compaq Utilities or the
operating system (as indicated by the System Configuration parameters).
The default value is 10 minutes. The allowable settings are 5, 10, 20,
and 30 minutes.
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 that may be
located elsewhere on site, setting the software error recovery time-out
for 20 or 30 minutes allows you to arrive at the server and diagnose the
problem.
5. Set the software error recovery start option. You can choose to start
into the Compaq Utilities or into the operating system.
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 in the event of a
critical error. However, you cannot enable the ASR-2 timer without loading
the driver.
