Server Configuration and Utilities
Enterprise Diagnostics LX32 Utility
The Enterprise Diagnostics LX32 Utility displays information about the server
hardware and tests the system to be sure that it is operating properly. The Enterprise
Diagnostics LX32 Utility can be accessed from the SmartStart CD or download from

Automatic Server Recovery
Automatic Server Recovery (ASR) is a feature of these servers that resets the system
in the event of a catastrophic operating system error like a blue-screen, ABEND
(abnormal end), or panic. A system failsafe timer, the ASR timer, is started when the
System Management driver, also known as the health driver, is loaded. The timer is
reset periodically during normal operation, but in the event of operating system
failure, the timer expires and restarts the server. ASR increases server up time by
restarting the server within a predetermined amount of time after the system stops
responding. The Insight Manager console notifies the user in the event of an ASR
restart. The user can disable ASR from the Insight Manager console.
IMPORTANT:
The System Management driver must be installed for ASR to function.
Power-On Self-Test
Power-On Self-Test (POST) is a series of diagnostic tests that checks firmware and
assemblies to ensure that the system is functioning properly. This utility runs
automatically every time the server is powered up.
Refer to Appendix D, “Troubleshooting,” for the normal power-up sequence and
diagnosis of problems encountered during POST.
