Automatic Server Recovery
ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such
as a blue screen, ABEND, or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the ASR timer, starts when the System
Management driver, also known as the Health Driver, is loaded. When the operating system is
functioning properly, the system periodically resets the timer. However, when the operating system fails,
the timer expires and restarts the server.
ASR increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time after a system hang or
shutdown. At the same time, the HP SIM console notifies you by sending a message to a designated
pager number that ASR has restarted the system. You can disable ASR from the HP SIM console or
through RBSU.
ROMPaq utility
Flash ROM enables you to upgrade the firmware (BIOS) with system or option ROMPaq utilities. To
upgrade the BIOS, insert a ROMPaq diskette into the diskette drive and boot the system.
The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of available ROM
revisions. This procedure is the same for both system and option ROMPaq utilities.
For more information about the ROMPaq utility, refer to the HP website

Integrated Lights-Out technology
The iLO subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and
remote server manageability. The iLO subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory,
and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO independent of the host server and its
operating system. The iLO subsystem provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends
alerts, and provides other server management functions.
Using iLO, you can:
•
Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server.
•
Send alerts from iLO regardless of the state of the host server.
•
Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO interface.
•
Diagnose iLO using HP SIM through a web browser and SNMP alerting.
For more information about iLO features, refer to the iLO documentation on the Documentation CD or on
the HP website (

StorageWorks library and tape tools
HP StorageWorks L&TT provides functionality for firmware downloads, verification of device operation,
maintenance procedures, failure analysis, corrective service actions, and some utility functions. It also
provides seamless integration with HP hardware support by generating and emailing support tickets that
deliver a snapshot of the storage system.
For more information, and to download the utility, refer to the StorageWorks L&TT website
