Compaq ProLiant 1850R Servers Maintenance and Service Guide
Booting into Compaq Utilities
When you enable ASR-2 to start into Compaq Utilities and a critical error occurs, the
operating-system-specific Health Driver logs the error information in the Critical Error Log or
the IML and the ASR-2 feature restarts the server. When the system reinitializes, the system
pages the designated administrator (if enabled), and starts Compaq Utilities from the hard
drive.
If Dial-In status is enabled, the modem is placed in auto-answer mode. If you enable Dial-Out
status, you are automatically enabled for Dial-In.
If Network Status is enabled, the appropriate network support software is loaded, depending on
the network protocol, IP or IPX. This allows remote access via the network.
IMPORTANT:
Compaq Utilities are loaded from a specially created system
partition on the hard drive. This partition was configured during server
configuration.
You can access the server and view the Server Health Logs (in servers not supporting the IML)
remotely by modem, in-band over the network, or directly from the server. For modem access,
you must have either Compaq Insight Manager 2.0 or above or have a VT100 or ANSI
terminal type device. You may use a standard CRT with VT100 or ANSI emulation capability,
or you may use a PC with a VT100 or ANSI terminal emulation package. The communication
parameters must be set for 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
You can also enable ASR-2 to allow network access using the Network Status feature in the
System Configuration Utility. You must have either Compaq Insight Manager 2.0 or greater or
a Novell Virtual Terminal (NVT) emulator on an IPX network to use this feature. You must
also have version 2.24 or later of the System Configuration Utility. For IP access, you must
have either Compaq Insight Manager 2.10 or later, or a Telnet Terminal emulator to use this
feature. You also must have version 2.24 or later of the System Configuration Utility.
The System Configuration Utility settings should resemble the settings in the following table
when you enable ASR-2 to start into Compaq Utilities.
