Automatic Server Recovery

ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such as
a blue screen, ABEND (does not apply to HP ProLiant DL980 Servers), or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the
ASR 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 increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time after a system hang. At the
same time, the HP SIM console notifies you by sending a message to a designated pager number that ASR
has restarted the system. You can disable ASR from the System Management Homepage or through RBSU.

ROMPaq utility

The ROMPaq utility enables you to upgrade the system firmware (BIOS). To upgrade the firmware, insert a
ROMPaq USB Key into an available USB port and boot the system. In addition to ROMPaq, Online Flash
Components for Windows and Linux operating systems are available for updating the system firmware.
The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of available firmware
revisions.
