Diagnostics Utility

the system to be sure that it is operating properly. If you used SmartStart to install
your operating system, you can access the Diagnostics Utility from the SmartStart
CD. You can also download the Diagnostics Utility from the website:

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 HP 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 10 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.
