Diagnostic Tools
Description
ADU is a Microsoft Windows
operating system-based tool
designed to run on all Compaq
systems that support Compaq
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 after a catastrophic
operating system failure.
With ASR-2, you have multiple
recovery options:
I Available Recovery provides
software error recovery and
environmental recovery.
I Unattended Recovery logs
the error information to the
IML, resets the server, and
tries to restart the operating
system.
Compaq Diagnostics tests and
verifies operation of Compaq
hardware. If Compaq
Diagnostics finds a hardware
failure, it isolates the
replaceable part, if possible.
Compaq Insight Manager XE is a
client/server application used to
remotely manage Compaq
hardware in a network
environment. The Compaq
Insight Manager application
reports hardware fault
conditions (both failure and pre-
failure) and collects data for
reporting and graphing.
