A feature that can enable the server to boot
automatically from the operating system or the
Compaq Utilities. The Compaq Utilities must be
installed in the system partition using the System
Configuration Utility. ASR-2 can reboot the server
after a critical system error. You can also configure
ASR-2 to page an administrator when the system
reboots.

several partitions and can contain different operating
systems. However, you must designate one partition
as the boot partition to start the system.

kernel during the boot process.
