Automatic server recovery
ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating
system error occurs, such as a blue screen, ABEND, or panic. A system fail-safe
timer, the ASR 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.
ASR increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time
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 has restarted
the system. You can disable ASR from the HP SIM console or through RBSU.
HP Systems Insight Manager
HP SIM is a web-based application that allows system administrators to
accomplish normal administrative tasks from any remote location, using a web
browser. HP SIM provides device management capabilities that consolidate and
integrate management data from HP and third-party devices.
IMPORTANT: You must install and use HP SIM to benefit from the Pre-
Failure Warranty for processors, hard drives, and memory modules.
