Compaq Integrated Remote Console
The standard Compaq Integrated Remote Console performs a wide range of
configuration activities. Console features are as follows:
Is accessible using ANSI terminal
Operates independently of the operating system
Provides for remote server restart
Provides access to system configuration
Uses out-of-band communication with dedicated management modem
installed in the server
Compaq Health Driver
The Compaq Health Driver continually resets the ASR-2 timer according to
the frequency that you specified in the System Configuration Utility (for
example, 10 minutes). If the ASR-2 timer counts down to zero before being
reset due to an operating system fatal error or a server lock-up, ASR-2 restarts
the server into either 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 offsite (unattended) servers, setting the software error recovery
timeout for 5 minutes reduces server downtime and allows the server to
quickly recover. For local (attended) servers located onsite, you can set the
software error recovery timeout for 20 or 30 minutes, giving you time to arrive
at the server if you wish to manually diagnose the problem.
The Compaq Health Driver is independent of the ASR-2 timer. You must load
it and enable the ASR-2 timer. Then the driver detects and logs information in
the IML regarding numerous hardware and software errors. However, you
cannot enable the ASR-2 timer without first loading the Health Driver.
