Auto Recovery

This section provides Automatic Server Recovery (ASR) configuration information, tells you when the server was last reset, and allows you to modify pager settings. You can modify the Status, ASR Reset Boot Option, Pager Status, Pager Dial String, and Pager Message settings.

The following items display on this window.

General Information

If the last reset was an ASR reset, the ASR condition will be degraded.

To change the timeout setting, use the System Configuration Utility. The time you specify for this field should be a prudent period of time before resetting the system and activating the recovery process after a fault occurs. If the timeout period is set too low on a heavily utilized server, the timeout could occur before the software support has time to service the timer.

Reboot

Use the ASR Reset Limit feature in conjunction with the ASR Reset Count feature in the same window. The ASR Reset Count feature displays the number of times that ASR has rebooted the server. If the ASR Reset Count is approaching the reset limit, immediately investigate the server for problems by checking the Critical Error Log and running Diagnostics.

  1. Check the Critical Error Log to determine if a serious problem exists.

  2. If you suspect a software problem, consult your operating system documentation.

  3. If you suspect a hardware problem, run Diagnostics to determine if a problem exists.

This count is reset to 0 when the system is reset manually .
