Server Blade Configuration and Utilities
Automatic Server Recovery-2
ASR-2 is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating
system error occurs, such as a blue-screen or kernel panic. A system fail-safe timer,
the ASR-2 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 blade.
ASR-2 increases server blade availability by restarting the server blade within
10 minutes after a system hang or shutdown. At the same time, the HP SIM console
notifies you by sending a message to a designated pager number that ASR-2 has
restarted the system. You can disable ASR-2 from the HP SIM console or RBSU.
