support HP array controllers. ADU collects
information about the array controllers in the
system and generates a list of detected problems.

Automatic Server
Recovery-2 (ASR-2)
ASR-2 automatically restarts the server blade after
a catastrophic operating system failure.
With ASR-2, you have multiple recovery options:
•
Available Recovery provides software error
recovery and environmental recovery.
•
Unattended Recovery logs the error
information to the IML, resets the server blade,
and tries to restart the operating system.
Run RBSU and set ASR-2 to
enable this tool.
HP Diagnostics
HP Diagnostics tests and verifies operation of HP
hardware. If HP Diagnostics finds a hardware
failure, it isolates the replaceable part (if possible).
