Starting into Compaq Utilities
When you enable ASR-2 to start into Compaq Utilities and a critical error
occurs, the operating system-specific Health Driver logs the error information
in the IML and the ASR-2 feature restarts the server. When the system
reinitializes, the system pages the designated administrator (if enabled), and
starts Compaq Utilities from the hard drive.
If Dial-In status is enabled, the modem is placed in autoanswer mode. If you
enable Dial-Out status, you are automatically enabled for Dial-In.
If Network Status is enabled, the appropriate network support software is
loaded, depending on the network protocol, IP or IPX. The Network Status
allows remote access through the network.
IMPORTANT:
Compaq Utilities are loaded from a specially created Compaq system
partition on the hard drive. This partition was configured during server configuration.
You can access the server and view the IMLs remotely by modem, in-band
over the network, or directly from the server. For modem access, you must
have either Compaq Insight Manager 2.0 or above or have a VT100 or ANSI
terminal type device. You can use a standard CRT with VT100 or ANSI
emulation capability, or you can use a PC with a VT100 or ANSI terminal
emulation package. The communication parameters must be set for 8 data bits,
no parity, and 1 stop bit.
You can also enable ASR-2 to allow network access using the Network Status
feature in the System Configuration Utility. You must have either Compaq
Insight Manager 2.0 or greater or an NVT emulator on an IPX network to use
this feature. You must also have Version 2.24 or later of the System
Configuration Utility. For IP access, you must have Compaq Insight
Manager 2.10 or later, or a Telnet Terminal emulator to use this feature. You
also must have Version 2.24 or later of the System Configuration Utility.
If you configure the server to start into Compaq Utilities, the server prepares
for remote communications. You can remotely run Diagnostics software, the
Inspect Utility, or the System Configuration Utility using a workstation
running terminal emulation software, such as Compaq Insight Manager or
PC Anywhere.
