Automatic Server Recovery
ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating
system error occurs, such as a blue screen, ABEND (abnormal end), or panic. A
system fail-safe timer, the ASR timer, starts when the System Management
driver, also known as the Health Driver, is loaded. When the operating system is
functioning properly, the system periodically resets the timer. However, when the
operating system fails, the timer expires and restarts the server.
ASR increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time
after a system hang or shutdown. At the same time, the Insight Manager 7
console notifies you by sending a message to a designated pager number that
ASR has restarted the system. You can disable ASR from the Insight Manager 7
console or through RBSU.
