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. 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.
ASR-2 increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time
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
through RBSU.

Survey Utility

Survey Utility gathers critical hardware and software information on servers running
Microsoft Windows NT, Novell NetWare, SCO OpenServer, or SCO UnixWare
operating systems.
IMPORTANT: This utility supports operating systems that may not be supported by the
server. For operating systems supported by the server, refer to the HP FTP site
(ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/os-support-matrix-310.pdf).
If a significant change occurs between data-gathering intervals, the Survey Utility
marks the previous information and overwrites the Survey text files to reflect the
latest changes in the configuration.
