Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2) Features
Features Definition
Software error recovery When enabled, ASR-2 is activated if the operating system hangs or
stops responding, resulting in a lockup.
Software error recovery timeout Determines how long the server waits before enabling ASR-2 after an
operating system lockup.
Standby recovery server option When enabled, ASR-2 activation initiates a switch to a designated
standby recovery server.
Standby recovery server port Port used to communicate with the recovery server.
Standby recovery time-out Determines how long the server waits to initiate a switch to a
designated standby recovery server after ASR-2 activation.
Software error recovery boot option Allows the server to restart, either initiating the operating system or
Compaq Utilities.
Thermal shutdown When enabled, shuts down the server if a critical thermal error occurs.
UPS shutdown When enabled, allows the server to perform a shutdown if an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is activated.
UPS shutdown threshold Determines how long the server waits to shut down after the UPS is
activated. If desired, this setting should provide enough time for an
administrator to perform any necessary operations or to properly shut
down the server.
Compaq Integrated Remote Console
The standard Compaq Integrated Remote Console performs a wide range of configuration
activities. Console features include:
■ Is accessible using ANSI terminal
■ Operates independently of the operating system
■ Provides for remote server restart
■ Provides access to system configuration
■ Uses out-of-band communication with dedicated management modem installed in the
server
For more information, see the Integrated Remote Console User Guide that shipped with the
server.
IMPORTANT: Before configuring ASR-2, verify that the System Configuration Utility and Diagnostics
software are installed on the system partition. ASR-2 must have this software to start Compaq Utilities
after a system restart. Compaq recommends verifying that the System Configuration Utility and the
Diagnostics software is installed even if you configure ASR-2 to start the operating system.
