View Reboot Sequence
Selecting the View Reboot Sequence option from the IRC Main Menu lets you
view a stored boot sequence. The IRC boot sequence recorder starts
automatically following an Automatic Server Recovery (ASR) event. The boot
sequence contains all ROM POST messages and operating system load
messages that were displayed on the managed server console while it was being
rebooted. If the Compaq Health Driver for your particular operating system is
loaded, this sequence will also include a snapshot of the server console at the
time the ASR event occurred. Boot sequences are stored in system memory and
are not available once the server power has been deactivated.
When the boot sequence recorder is activated, all text-mode video data is
collected until the boot sequence recorder is full or the recorder duration timer
expires (approximately five minutes). The recorder duration timer insures that
even the minimal overhead necessary to sustain the boot sequence recorder will
not affect server performance.
If IRC contains a valid boot sequence, the View Reboot Sequence menu option
is available. If this menu option is gray or inactive, there is no boot sequence to
view. Select View Reboot Sequence from the Main Menu to display a screen
similar to Figure 4-13, showing the commands that control sequence playback.
