Rapid Error Recovery
Compaq servers provide rapid recovery services for diagnosing and recovering from errors.
These tools are available for local and remote diagnosis and recovery.
Rapid recovery means fast identification and resolution of complex faults. The Rapid Recovery
Engine and Insight Management Agents notify the system administrator when a failure occurs,
ensuring that the server experiences minimal downtime. You enable these features through the
System Configuration Utility. These integrated server management features are:
■ Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2)
■ ASR-2 Integrated Management Log (IML) Messages
■ Server Health Logs (on servers not supporting IMLs)
■ Storage Fault Recovery Tracking
■ Storage Automatic Reconstruction
■ Network Interface Fault Recovery Tracking
■ Memory Fault Recovery Tracking (with option upgrade kit)
These are discussed in more detail on the Server Documentation CD.
Automatic Server Recovery-2
Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2) allows the server to 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 enable the ASR-2 feature to restart a server after a critical hardware or software error
occurs. If a critical error occurs, the server records the error information in the IML, restarts the
system, and then pages you. Using the System Configuration Utility, configure the system for
automatic recovery or for attended local or remote access to diagnostic and configuration tools.
NOTE: ASR-2 is only available on operating systems using the ASR-2 drivers provided by Compaq.
You can also configure ASR-2 to page an administrator when the system restarts. ASR-2
depends on the application and driver that routinely notify the ASR-2 hardware of proper
system operations. If the time between ASR-2 notifications exceeds the specified period, ASR-2
assumes a fault has occurred and initiates the recovery process.
To configure ASR-2:
1. Run the System Configuration Utility.
2. Select View, then Edit Details.
3. Set the software error recovery status to Enabled.
4. Set the software error recovery timeout.
