The available recovery features are:
•
Software Error Recovery
—automatically restarts the server after a software-
induced server failure
•
Environmental Recovery
—allows the server to restart when temperature, fan,
or AC power conditions return to normal
Unattended Recovery
For unattended recovery, ASR-2 executes the following functions:
•
Logs the error information to the IML
•
Resets the server
•
Attempts to restart the operating system
Often the server restarts successfully, making unattended recovery the ideal
choice for remote locations where trained service personnel are not immediately
available.
ASR-2 tries to restart the server up to ten times. If ASR-2 cannot restart the
server within ten attempts, the system logs a critical error in the IML, restarts the
server, initiates Diagnostics, and enables remote access (if you configured remote
access).
To use this level of ASR-2, you must configure ASR-2 to load the operating system
after restart.
