Compaq Diagnostics Utility
The Diagnostics Utility is accessible from a diskette that you create from the
ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack CD. To run Diagnostics, access the
Diagnostics Utility image using the virtual floppy and restart the server blade. The
server blade boots from the image and runs the Diagnostics Utility.
Automatic Server Recovery-2
ASR-2 is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating
system error occurs, such as a blue-screen or kernel panic. A system fail-safe timer,
the ASR-2 timer, starts when the Compaq System Management driver, also known as
the Health driver, is loaded. When the operating system is functioning properly, the
system periodically resets the timer. However, when the operating system fails, the
timer expires and restarts the server blade.
ASR-2 increases server blade availability by restarting the server blade within
10 minutes after a system hang or shutdown. At the same time, the Compaq Insight
Manager 7 console notifies you by sending a message to a designated pager number
that ASR-2 has restarted the system. You can disable ASR-2 from the Compaq
Insight Manager 7 console or RBSU.
Integrated Management Log
The IML records hundreds of events and stores them in an easy-to-view form. The
IML time-stamps each event with 1-minute granularity.
