Description
ADU is a Microsoft Windows
operating system-based tool
designed to run on all systems that
support HP or Compaq branded
array controllers. ADU collects
information about the array
controllers in the system and
generates a list of detected
problems.
ASR automatically restarts the
server after a catastrophic operating
system failure.
With ASR, you have multiple
recovery options:
•
Available Recovery provides
software error recovery and
environmental recovery.
•
Unattended Recovery logs the
error information to the
Integrated Management Log
(IML), resets the server, and
tries to restart the operating
system.
Diagnostics tests and verifies
operation of server hardware. If
Diagnostics finds a hardware failure,
it isolates the replaceable part, if
possible.
Insight Manager 7 is a client/server
application used to remotely manage
server hardware in a network
environment. The Insight Manager
application reports hardware fault
conditions (both failure and pre-
failure) and collects data for
reporting and graphing.
