Automatic Server Recovery-2 Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2) lets the server restart automatically from the operating system or the Compaq Utilities. To use this feature, you must use the System Configuration Utility to install Compaq Utilities in the system partition. You can tell ASR-2 to restart your server after a critical hardware or software error occurs.

Set Dial-In Status to Enabled. Be sure the Reset Boot option is set status to Boot Compaq Utilities. When the system starts because of an ASR reset, it starts to the Compaq Utilities, sets the Management Modem to auto-answer, and waits for the administrator to dial in and run the Compaq Utilities.

ASR reset, the administrator is paged via Pager Status and Pager Dial String, the system restarts to the Compaq Utilities, and dials out to the phone number provided in the Dial-Out string. The dial-out number will be tried five times. If it fails to connect after five attempts, the modem is put in auto-answer mode.
Page 118
During the recovery process, the ASR-2 feature tries to restart the server up to 10 times. If the ASR-2 feature cannot restart the server within 10 attempts, it logs a critical error in the Critical Error Log or IML Log restarts the server into the Compaq Utilities, and puts the modem into auto-answer mode.
ASR-2 Security The standard Compaq password features function differently during ASR-2 than during a typical system startup. During ASR-2, the system does not prompt for the Power-On Password. This allows the ASR- 2 to restart the operating system or Compaq Utilities without user intervention.

This information helps you quickly identify and correct the problem, thus minimizing downtime. You can view the Critical Error Log through the Compaq Insight Manager. The Diagnostics Utility either resolves the error or suggests corrective action in systems that do not support event logs.
