COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
Reboot Server Menu Option
It may become necessary to reboot a server that has gone off line and is no
longer accessible through the OS. Compaq Automatic Server Recovery can be
configured to reboot the server automatically when this condition is
determined. In some instances, however, the administrator may want to control
this reset event so that it can be interactively invoked and monitored.
For this example, a catastrophic error was intentionally introduced in the
Windows NT operating system. This server is no longer available through OS-
based tools since the operating system is off line. If this server is equipped with
IRC, it is still accessible and can be rebooted remotely.
To establish a connection with IRC in this server, use the steps described in
Chapter 3. Upon entering Remote Console mode, notice that the operating
system is currently off line and is displaying valuable information about the
failure, as shown in Figure 4-7.
