Required Hardware And Software; Hp Netserver Hardware Required - HP Support Anywhere Installation And User Manual

Chapter 2
HP Web Interface Software During setup, web interface software is
installed on your Novell NetWare or Windows NT web server. It is pre-
configured to provide you with details about each of your selected HP
NetServer E Series servers, including configuration and alarm details.
HP Automatic Server Restart Automatic Server Restart (ASR) eases the
burden of dealing with a system crash or "hang" by automatically
restarting the system if a failure occurs. ASR uses a combination of
software and hardware to do this. (The hardware components are built in
to the HP NetServer.)
When ASR service is enabled, the ASR software periodically notifies the
ASR hardware that the system is running correctly. When the system
crashes or hangs, the ASR hardware stops receiving the OK notices and
automatically initiates a system restart.
NOTE
In order for the ASR service to function correctly, the system
must be configured to restart successfully without user
intervention.
Be advised, not all system hangs will cause a system restart. For example,
if the network operating system is still functional, but all forms of user
input have been disabled due to error (giving the appearance of a system
hang), ASR will not initiate a system restart.
HP Support Anywhere Client Software
Support Anywhere client software is installed on a designated workstation
(referred to in this guide as the Support Anywhere Client). The software is
designed to receive alarms and display notifications from HP NetServer E Series
servers regarding the servers' operational status. Also, in conjunction with your
web browser, Support Anywhere allows you to connect to a problematic server to
investigate an alarm or change its configuration.

Required Hardware and Software

The following hardware and software components are necessary for the proper
installation and operation of Support Anywhere on both your HP NetServer and
