(d) Server Availability Menu
When you select
System Configuration
>
BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU)
>
System Options
>
Server Availability
from the System Utilities, the
Server Availability
menu appears.
For details about the options, see the table below.
Option
Parameter Description
ASR Status
[Enabled]
Disabled
Use this option to configure the Automatic Server Recovery
option, which enables the system to automatically reboot if
the server locks up.
ASR Timeout
[10 Minutes]
15 Minutes
20 Minutes
30 Minutes
5 Minutes
When Automatic Server Recovery is enabled, you can use
this option to set the time to wait before rebooting the
server in the event of an operating system crash or server
lockup.
Wake-On LAN
[Enabled]
Disabled
You can configure the server to be powered on remotely
when it receives a special packet. This option requires a
NIC, NIC driver, and operating system that are
WOL-capable.
POST F1 Prompt
[Delayed 20 Seconds]
Delayed 2 Seconds
Disabled
Use this option to configure the system to display the F1
key on the server POST screen. If an error is encountered,
you can press the F1 key to continue with the server
power-up sequence. Select one of the following options:
Delayed 20 Seconds - If an error occurs, the system
pauses for 20 seconds at the F1 prompt and continues to
boot the OS.
Delayed 2 Seconds - If an error occurs, the
system pauses for 2 seconds at the F1 prompt and
continues to boot the OS.
Disabled - If an error occurs,
the system bypasses the F1 prompt and continues to boot
the OS.
Note: For critical errors, the system pauses for 20
seconds at the F1 prompt, regardless of how this option is
configured.
Power Button Mode
[Enabled]
Disabled
Disabling this option disables the momentary power button
functionality. This option does not affect the four-second
power button override or the remote power control
functionality.
Automatic Power-On
Always Power On
Always Power Off
[Restore Last Power
Stats]
Use this option to configure the server power state when
AC power is applied to the system. By default, the system
returns to its previous power state when AC power is
restored after an AC power loss. Always Power On and
Always Power Off cause the system to always return to the
"on" and "off" state, respectively, whenever power is
applied, even if the system is in the "off" state when power
is lost.
Power-On Delay
[No Delay]
random Delay
15 Second Delay
30 Second Delay
45 Second Delay
60 Second Delay
Use this option to delay the server from turning on for a
specified time. Pressing the power button (using the Virtual
Power Button), or Wake-ON LAN events, and RTC
Wake-up events override the delay and power on the
server without any additional delay. This enables
staggering when servers power-up after a power loss to
prevent power usage spikes. Note that the actual delay
before the server is powered on will be longer than the
specified time because the server must always wait for iLO
FW to initialize before the server attempts to power on.
