Compaq ProLiant 1600 and ProLiant 1200 Servers Maintenance and Service Guide
Booting into Compaq Utilities
When you enable ASR-2 to start into Compaq Utilities and a critical error occurs, the
operating system-specific Health Driver logs the error information in the Critical Error Log
and the ASR-2 feature restarts the server. When the system reinitializes, the system pages
the designated administrator (if enabled), and starts Compaq Utilities from the hard drive.
If Dial-In status is enabled, the modem is placed in auto-answer mode. If you enable Dial-
Out status, you are automatically enabled for Dial-In.
If Network Status is enabled, the appropriate network support software is loaded,
depending on the network protocol, IP or IPX. This allows remote access via the network.
IMPORTANT:
Compaq Utilities are loaded from a specially created
system partition on the hard drive. This partition was configured
during server configuration.
You can access the server and view the Server Health Logs in servers not supporting the
Integrated Management Display Log, remotely by modem, in-band over the network, or
directly from the server. For modem access, you must have either Compaq Insight Manager
2.0 or above or have a VT100 or ANSI terminal type device. You may use a standard CRT
with VT100 or ANSI emulation capability, or you may use a PC with a VT100 or ANSI
terminal emulation package. The communication parameters must be set for 8 data bits, no
parity, and 1 stop bit.
You can also enable ASR-2 to allow network access using the Network Status feature in the
System Configuration Utility. You must have either Compaq Insight Manager 2.0 or greater
or a Novell Virtual Terminal (NVT) emulator on an IPX network to use this feature. You
must also have version 2.24 or later of the System Configuration Utility. For IP access, you
must have either Compaq Insight Manager 2.10 or later, or a Telnet Terminal emulator to
use this feature. You also must have version 2.24 or later of the System Configuration
Utility.
The System Configuration Utility settings should resemble the settings in the following
table when you enable ASR-2 to start into Compaq Utilities.
