Automatic Server Recovery-2; Integrated Management Log - HP 195294-001 - ProLiant - ML370R Setup And Installation Manual

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, ABEND (abnormal end), or panic. A
system fail-safe timer, the ASR-2 timer, starts when the System Management driver,
also known as the health driver, is loaded. While the operating system functions
properly, the system periodically resets the timer. However, when the operating
system fails, the timer expires and restarts the server.
ASR-2 increases server availability by restarting the server within ten minutes after a
system hang or shutdown. At the same time, the 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 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 one-minute granularity.
Events listed in the IML are categorized as one of four event severity levels:
•
Status—indicates that the message is informational only
•
Repaired—indicates that corrective action was taken
•
Caution—indicates a non-fatal error condition occurred
•
Critical—indicates a component failure has occurred
IML requires operating system-dependent drivers. Refer to the SmartStart CD for
instructions on installing the appropriate drivers.
To obtain important drivers and information about using the IML with the Linux
operating system, refer to
