Compaq Diagnostics Utility
The Diagnostics Utility is accessed from diskette. A diskette can be created
from the SmartStart and Support Software CD. To run Diagnostics, insert the
Diagnostics diskette and restart the server. The server powers up from the
diskette and runs the Diagnostics Utility.
Automatic Server Recovery (ASR)
ASR is a feature in ProLiant servers that causes the system to restart in the
event of a catastrophic OS error like a blue-screen, ABEND (abnormal end),
or panic. A system failsafe timer, the ASR timer, is started when the Compaq
System Management driver, also known as the health driver, is loaded. The
timer is reset periodically during normal OS operation, but in the event of OS
failure, the timer expires and restarts the server. ASR increases server up time
by restarting the server within 10 minutes after the system stops responding.
The Compaq Insight Manager console notifies you in the event of a server
ASR. You can disable ASR from the Compaq Insight Manager console.
