Initiating the Operating System
Initiating the operating system is only supported on systems that use the System
Configuration Utility. When you enable ASR-2 to restart the operating system and a
critical error occurs, ASR-2 logs the error in the IML and restarts the server. The
system then executes the normal restart process.
IMPORTANT:
When you enable ASR-2 to restart the operating system, Modem Dial-In
Status, Network Status, and Modem Dial-Out Status are automatically disabled. In this mode
you cannot access the server and the server cannot dial out to a remote workstation.
During the recovery process, the ASR-2 feature tries (up to ten times) to restart the
server. If the ASR-2 feature cannot restart the server within ten attempts, it logs a
critical error in the IML, restarts the server in Diagnostics, and puts the modem into
auto-answer mode.
Your System Configuration Utility settings should resemble those listed in Table 5-3
when you enable ASR-2 to restart into the operating system:
