Management tools

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, 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 a specified time 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 through RBSU.

ROMPaq utility

The ROMPaq utility enables you to upgrade the system firmware (BIOS). To upgrade the firmware, insert a

ROMPaq USB Key into an available USB port and boot the system. In addition to ROMPaq, Online Flash

Components for Windows and Linux operating systems are available for updating the system firmware.
The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of available firmware

revisions.
For more information, see the Download drivers and software page for the server. To access the

Integrated Lights-Out 2 technology

The iLO 2 subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and

remote server manageability. The iLO 2 subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory,

and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO 2 independent of the host server and its operating
system.
In addition to remote management features, iLO 2 is also responsible for managing the health of the ProLiant

server. The intelligence of iLO 2 manages the Sea of Sensors thermal control, directs the Dynamic Power

Capping technology, and monitors the health of server components.
