Rapid Recovery Services
Compaq servers provide rapid recovery services for diagnosing and recovering from errors.
These tools are available for local and remote diagnosis and recovery.
Rapid recovery means fast identification and resolution of complex faults. The Rapid Recovery
Engine and Insight Management Agents notify the system administrator when a failure occurs,
ensuring that the server experiences minimal downtime. You enable these features through the
System Configuration Utility. These integrated server management features are:
■ Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2)
■ Server Health Logs (on servers not supporting Integrated Management Logs)
■ Storage Fault Recovery Tracking
■ Storage Automatic Reconstruction
■ Network Interface Fault Recovery Tracking
■ Memory Fault Recovery Tracking (with option upgrade kit)
These are discussed in more detail on the Systems Reference Library CD (SRL).
Automatic Server Recovery-2
Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2) lets the server restart automatically from the operating
system or the Compaq Utilities. To use this feature, you must use the System Configuration
Utility to install Compaq Utilities in the system partition.
You can tell ASR-2 to restart your server after a critical hardware or software error occurs.
Using the Compaq System Configuration Utility, configure the system for either automatic
recovery or for attended local or remote access to diagnostic and configuration tools.
You can also configure ASR-2 to page an administrator when the system restarts. ASR-2
depends on the application and driver that routinely notify the ASR-2 hardware of proper system
operations. If the time between ASR-2 notifications exceeds the specified period, ASR-2
assumes a fault has occurred and initiates the recovery process.
To configure ASR-2:
1. Execute the System Configuration Utility.
2. Select View and Edit Details.
3. Set the software error recovery status to Enabled.
4. Set the software error recovery time-out.
