constructed POST routine available only on specific IBM servers.
If this routine does not exist on your server, all settings in this
field are ignored.
For more information about POST routines, see the
documentation that comes with your server.
Loader Watchdog
Use the Loader Watchdog <mins> field to specify the number of
minutes that the Remote Supervisor Adapter or ASM processor waits
between the completion of POST and the starting of the operating
system. If this interval is exceeded, the Remote Supervisor Adapter or
ASM processor generates a loader timeout alert and automatically
restarts the system. After the system is restarted, the loader timeout is
automatically disabled until the operating system is shut down and the
server is power cycled (or until the operating system starts and the
device driver successfully loads).
To set the loader timeout value, select the time limit that the Remote
Supervisor Adapter or ASM processor will wait for operating-system
starting to be completed. To turn off this option, select
Disabled .
Note: If the Loader Timeout option is selected in the System Remote
Alerts window, the Remote Supervisor Adapter or ASM processor
will send an alert to all configured remote alert recipients.
O/S Watchdog
Use the O/S Watchdog <mins> field to specify the number of minutes
between checks of the operating system by the Remote Supervisor
Adapter or ASM processor. If the operating system fails to respond to
one of these checks, the Remote Supervisor Adapter or ASM processor
generates an operating system timeout alert and automatically restarts
the server. After the server is restarted, the operating system is power
cycled.
To set the operating-system watchdog value, select a time interval from
the menu. To turn off this watchdog, select
Disabled . To capture blue
screens, you must enable the watchdog in the O/S Watchdog field and
make sure that the O/S Timeout option is set to Disabled until the
operating system is shut down and the server completes a power cycle.
Notes:
a. The operating-system watchdog feature requires that the Remote
Supervisor Adapter device driver is installed on the server.
b. If the O/S Timeout option is set to Enabled in the System Remote
Alerts window, the Remote Supervisor Adapter attempts to send an
alert to all configured remote alert recipients.
