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
Compaq system partition.
You can enable the ASR-2 feature to restart a server after a critical hardware
or software error occurs. If a critical error occurs, the server records the error
information in the IML, restarts the system, and pages you. Using the Compaq
System Configuration Utility, configure the system for 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 notify the
ASR-2 hardware of proper system operations. If the time between ASR-2
notifications exceeds the specified period, ASR-2 determines that a fault has
occurred and initiates the recovery process.
To configure ASR-2:
1. Run the System Configuration Utility.
2. Select Configure Computer.
3. Select View and Edit Details.
4. Set the software error recovery status to Enabled.
5. Set the software error recovery timeout.
The available recovery features are:
Software Error Recovery—can be set to automatically restart the
server after a software-induced server failure.
Environmental Recovery—can be set to allow the server to restart
when temperature, fan, or AC power conditions return to normal.
