Initiates rapid recovery services
In Compaq servers each hardware subsystem, such as disk storage, system memory,
and system processor, has a robust set of management capabilities. Compaq's Full-
Spectrum Fault Management prevents faults before they happen, keeps the system up
and running in the unlikely event of a failure, and delivers rapid server recovery to
normal operation after a fault. For information concerning Compaq Insight Manager,
refer to the Server Setup and Management pack included in the
shipping box.
Compaq System Configuration Utility
The Compaq System Configuration utility performs a wide range of
configuration activities including the following:
■
Configures EISA and PCI boards automatically
■
Provides switch and jumper settings
■
Resolves resource conflicts in areas such as memory, port addresses, and
interrupts (IRQs)
■
Manages the installation of memory, processor upgrades, and mass
storage devices such as hard drives, tape drives, and diskette drives
■
Sets and stores power-on features like date and time
■
Stores configuration information in nonvolatile memory
■
Assists in the installation of the operating system
■
Assists in running diagnostic tools such as TEST and INSPECT Utilities
The first time the server is configured, the SmartStart program automatically
creates a system partition and installs the configuration utility and other
Compaq utilities in that partition. For information concerning this utility, refer
to the SmartStart documentation and the Systems Reference Library CD
included in the shipping box.
