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.
