Network Interface
Fault Recovery Tracking
This feature tracks over 20 failure indication parameters (such as alignment
errors, lost frames, and frame copy errors) of Ethernet and Token Ring
network interfaces. It decreases network downtime by enabling diagnosis of
actual network interface failures.
Memory Fault Recovery Tracking
This feature inspects the operation of the memory subsystem looking for
uncorrectable memory errors.
Off-Line Backup Processor
The Off-Line Backup Processor feature of Compaq ProLiant 5000 Servers
gives a MultiProcessing system the ability to continue operating after one or
more processors fail. Upon restart failure, the system bypasses the usual
bootstrap CPU and attempts to restart a different CPU. If boot failure persists,
the system automatically tries different combinations of CPUs until a
successful combination is found. If the restart attempt sequence fails, none of
the CPUs is bootable and a service call is required.
Automatic Server Recovery-2
Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2) is a feature that can set the server to
restart automatically from the operating system or the Compaq Utilities. The
Compaq Utilities must be installed in the system partition using the Compaq
System Configuration Utility.
You can enable the ASR-2 feature to restart your server after a critical
hardware or software error occurs. Using the Compaq System Configuration
Utility, you can choose to 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.
