HP Systems Insight Manager
HP SIM is a Web-based application that enables you to accomplish normal
administrative tasks from any remote location, using a Web browser. HP SIM
provides device management capabilities that consolidate and integrate management
data from HP and third-party devices.
IMPORTANT: You must install and use HP SIM to benefit from the pre-failure warranties on
processors, hard drives, and memory modules.
For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant
Essentials Foundation Pack.
HP Insight Diagnostics
The HP Insight Diagnostics utility displays information about the server hardware
and tests the system to be sure it is operating properly. The utility has online help and
can be accessed using the SmartStart CD. Online Diagnostics for Microsoft Windows
is available for download from the HP website
http://www.hp.com/support .
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 (abnormal end), 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 10 minutes 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 RBSU.
