Reporting
Using Automatic Data Collection, Compaq Insight Manager XE enables
you to gather historic performance information for graphing or export
purposes, which helps with upgrade performance.
■ Integration with Enterprise Management Platforms
Compaq Insight Manager XE provides integration with leading
management platforms including HP OpenView, IBM NetView, SunNet
Manager, and Microsoft Systems Management Server.
Compaq Diagnostics Utility
The Diagnostics Utility displays information about the server’s hardware and
tests the system to ensure that it is operating properly. If you used SmartStart
to install your operating system, you can access the Diagnostics Utility from
the SmartStart CD. You can also download the Diagnostics Utility from the
Compaq website:

Automatic Server Recovery-2
ASR-2 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-2 timer, starts when the Compaq
System Management driver, also known as the health driver, is loaded. While
the operating system functions properly, the system periodically resets the
timer. However, when the operating system fails, the timer expires and restarts
the server.
ASR-2 increases server availability by restarting the server within 10 minutes
after a system hang or shutdown. At the same time, the Compaq Insight
Manager XE console notifies you by sending a message to a designated pager
number that ASR-2 has restarted the system. You can disable ASR-2 from the
Compaq Insight Manager XE console or RBSU.
Integrated Management Log
The IML records hundreds of events and stores them in an easy-to-view form.
The IML time-stamps each event with one-minute granularity.
Events listed in the IML are categorized as one of four event severity levels:
■ Status—indicates that the message is informational only
■ Repaired—indicates that corrective action was taken
