Booting into the Compaq Utilities
When you enable ASR-2 to start into the 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 the Compaq Utilities from the hard drive.
If Dial-In status is enabled, then the modem is placed in auto answer mode. If
you enable Dial-Out status, then you are automatically enabled for dial-in.
If Network Status is enabled, then the appropriate network support software is
loaded depending on the Network protocol (IP or IPX). This allows remote
access via the network.
IMPORTANT: The Compaq Utilities are loaded from a specially created System
Partition on the hard drive that was configured during server configuration.
You can access the server and view the Server Health Logs remotely via a
modem, in-band over the network, or directly from the server. For modem
access, you must have either 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 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 Insight
Manager 2.10 or above or a Telnet Terminal emulator to use this feature. You
also must have version 2.24 or later of the System Configuration Utility.
The configuration utility settings should resemble the following when you
enable ASR to start into the Compaq Utilities:
