To use Compaq Utilities on an IPX network, you must have Compaq Insight
Manager 2.0 or above or an NVT (Novell Virtual Terminal) Terminal
Emulator with VT100 or ANSI terminal capabilities. To use Compaq Utilities
on an IP network, you must have Insight Manager 2.10 or above or a Telnet
Terminal Emulator with VT100 or ANSI capabilities.
If you receive notification that ASR-2 restarted the server and you have
restarted to Compaq Utilities, use the Inspect utility or Compaq Insight
Manager to view the critical error in the Critical Error Log. Run Diagnostics
software to diagnose the problem, and then resolve the problem.
You can configure ASR-2 to restart the server into Compaq Utilities to
diagnose the critical error, or to start the operating system to return the server
to operational status as rapidly as possible.
When you enable ASR-2 to start the operating system, the server tries to start
from the primary partition. In this mode, ASR-2 can page you in the event of a
critical error, but you cannot access Compaq Utilities.
When you enable ASR-2 to start Compaq Utilities, your server restarts after a
critical error and loads the Compaq Utilities from the system partition on the
hard drive.
You can configure your server to start Compaq Utilities in four different ways:
Without remote console support; for example, to run Compaq Utilities
from the server console only
With remote console support using modems for dial-in access
With remote console support using a modem to dial a predetermined
telephone number.
With remote console support through a network connection
(IP or IPX).
IMPORTANT: Before configuring ASR-2, verify that the Compaq System
Configuration Utility and Diagnostics software are installed on the system partition.
ASR-2 must have this to start the Compaq Utilities after a system restart. Compaq
recommends this even if you configure ASR-2 to start the operating system.
