NOTE:

If the current data transfer width is Narrow (8 bits) then the speed in megabytes per second is equal to

the million transfers per second speed. If the current width is Wide (16 bits) then the speed in megabytes per

second is twice the million transfers per second speed. For example, if the current speed is Ultra and the width

is Wide then the speed would be 40 megabytes per second.

System Configuration

Auto Recovery

This section provides Automatic Server Recovery (ASR) configuration information, tells you when the server was last

reset, and allows you to modify pager settings. You can modify the Status, ASR Reset Boot Option, Pager Status,

Pager Dial String, and Pager Message settings.
The following items display on this window:

General Information

ASR Condition—This value specifies the overall condition of the ASR. The following values are possible:

Other—ASR is not supported on server.

OK—Last reboot was not an ASR reboot.

Degraded—Last reboot was an ASR reboot but the ASR reset count less than the ASR reset limit.

Failed—ASR reset count is greater than or equal to the ASR reset limit.

Status—Displays the status of ASR. The following values are possible:

Enabled—ASR is enabled for this server.

Disabled—ASR is disabled for this server. To change this status, run the System Configuration Utility or

perform a set on this item.

Not Available—ASR is not available for this server or your driver is not loaded. ASR is available only on

operating systems using the ASR software support provided by HP/Compaq.

Unknown—You may need to upgrade your support software and/or Server Agent(s). The Server Agent

cannot determine the status.

Last Reset—Displays how the last server reset was performed. The following values are possible:

ASR—The last reset was performed by ASR. Check the Critical Error Log to determine what may have

caused ASR.

ASR-Cleared—The last reset was performed by ASR. The degraded condition caused by the ASR reset has

been cleared. Degraded ASR conditions can be cleared by selecting the Clear ASR button on the Auto

Server Recovery window.

Manual—The last reset was performed manually.

Unknown—You may need to upgrade your driver software and/or Server Agents. The Server Agent cannot

determine the status of the device.
If the last reset was an ASR reset, the ASR condition is degraded.

Timeout—Displays how many minutes ASR waits before initiating a recovery process. ASR depends on the

software support to routinely notify the ASR hardware that the server is operating properly.
To change the timeout setting, use the System Configuration Utility. The time you specify for this field should be

a prudent period of time before resetting the system and activating the recovery process after a fault occurs. If

the timeout period is set too low on a heavily utilized server, the timeout could occur before the software support

has time to service the timer.

ASR Hardware Version—Displays the version of the hardware supporting ASR. Use this information for

identification purposes.

Reboot

Reset Boot Option—Displays what the server will boot after an ASR reset occurs. When the recovery process is

initiated, ASR resets the server, test all memory, de-allocate any bad memory blocks, and page you (if modem is

present in the server and paging is enabled).

ASR Reset Limit—Displays the number of consecutive times that ASR attempts recovery. The Automatic Server

Recovery (ASR) feature can restart a server after a critical hardware or software error occurs. ASR attempts the

recovery process a limited number of consecutive times. You cannot change this number. If the server continues

to experience hardware or software errors and the number of recovery cycles exceeds this limit, the server logs

an error to the Critical Error Log, and then continues to boot the Utilities from the hard drive.
