Description
ADU is designed to run on all
ProLiant systems that support HP
array controllers. ADU collects
information about the array
controllers in the system and
generates a list of detected
problems.
ASR-2 automatically restarts the
server after a catastrophic operating
system failure.
With ASR-2, you have two recovery
options:
•
Available Recovery provides
software error recovery and
environmental recovery.
•
Unattended Recovery logs the
error information to the IML,
resets the server, and tries to
restart the operating system.
Diagnostics tests and verifies
operation of HP 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
HP hardware in a network
environment. Insight Manager
reports hardware fault conditions
(both failure and pre-failure) and
collects data for reporting and
graphing.
iLO is a remote management port
that can be accessed through a
dedicated Lights-Out port on the rear
panel of the server. Accessed
through a standard browser from
anywhere, the iLO capabilities will
not require any unique software
applications to use.
