Compaq ProLiant 1850R Servers Maintenance and Service Guide
The available recovery features are:
Software Error Recovery – automatically restarts the server after a software-induced
server failure
Environmental Recovery – allows the server to restart when temperature, fan, or AC
power conditions return to normal
Unattended Recovery
For unattended recovery, ASR-2 performs the following actions:
Logs the error information to the IML
Resets the server
Pages you (if a modem is present and you selected paging)
Tries to restart the operating system. Often the server restarts successfully, making
unattended recovery the ideal choice for remote locations where trained service
personnel are not immediately available.
ASR-2 tries to restart the server up to 10 times. If ASR-2 cannot restart the server within 10
attempts, it places a critical error in the Integrated Management Log, starts the server into
Compaq Utilities, and enables remote access (if you configured remote access).
To use this level of ASR-2, you must configure ASR-2 to load the operating system after
restart.
Attended Recovery
For attended recovery, ASR-2 performs the following actions:
Logs the error information to the IML
Resets the server
Pages you (if a modem is present and you selected Paging)
Starts Compaq Utilities from the hard drive
Enables remote access
During system configuration, these utilities are placed on the system utilities partition of the
hard drive.
If you have configured for dial-in access and have a modem with an auto-answer feature
installed, you can dial in and remotely diagnose or reconfigure the server.
If you have configured the Compaq Utilities for network access, you can access the utilities
over the network. You can use Compaq Insight Manager for dial-in or network access.
