Description
ADU is designed to run on all HP systems that
support HP array controllers. ADU collects
information about the array controllers in the
system and generates a list of detected problems.
ASR-2 automatically restarts the server blade after
a catastrophic operating system failure.
With ASR-2, you have multiple recovery options:
Available Recovery provides software error
•
recovery and environmental recovery.
Unattended Recovery logs the error
•
information to the IML, resets the server blade,
and tries to restart the operating system.
HP Diagnostics tests and verifies operation of HP
hardware. If HP Diagnostics finds a hardware
failure, it isolates the replaceable part, if possible.
Insight Manager 7 is a client/server application
used to remotely manage HP hardware in a
network environment. Insight Manager reports
hardware fault conditions (both failure and pre-
failure) and collects data for reporting and graphing.
The ROMPaq Utility checks the system and
provides a choice of available ROM revisions and
controller firmware.
