Supplies on
IBM OS/2.
The following features are supported by this driver:
* Integrated Management Log,
* Correctable Error Log.
* Critical Error Log.
* Automatic Server Recovery.
* EISA and PCI Bus Utilization Monitoring.
* Compaq Hot Plug Redundant Power supplies.
CPQHLTH.HTM - This file.
CPQHLTH.SYS - OS/2 device driver.
CPQHLTH.EXE - OS/2 executable; runs as a detached process.
CPQHLTH.DDP - File used by DDINSTAL.EXE.
4.0 Installation of Server Health/Recovery Support
4.1 This driver supports the Integrated Management Log feature, Server Health
Log feature and the Automatic Server Recovery feature. To enable the Automatic Server
Recovery (ASR) feature in the hardware, use the Compaq System Configuration Utility.
For alerting and remote control functionality associated with the ASR feature,
be sure to configure a modem to the communications port with the Compaq
System Configuration Utility.
4.2 Please follow the procedures mentioned in the Installing a Compaq OS/2 Driver
OR Compaq Support Software Setup Utility file.
Give the source path as a:\CPQHLTH and Select 'Compaq Health Driver for OS/2'.
5.0 Disabling the Server Health/Recovery Support
Please follow the procedures outlined below to remove the Server Health Log and
Automatic Server Recovery support from your system.
1. Modify your CONFIG.SYS file found in the root directory of your system.
You will need to REMOVE the following lines where <drive> is the proper drive/path
specification for your system (e.g.: C:, D:, etc. ...):
DEVICE=<drive>\OS2\CPQHLTH.SYS
RUN=<drive>\OS2\CPQHLTH.EXE
2. Run the Compaq System Configuration Utility to enable/disable the
ASR hardware feature(s).
3. The changed configuration will be rendered active only after the next reboot of OS/2.
6.0 Limitations
6.1 CPQHLTH.SYS
ver 3.30 onwards require that FixPack SYSLEVEL XR06200 for
IBM OS/2 2.11 be applied. If CPQHLTH.SYS v3.30 onwards is used
without applying the FixPack to your OS/2 v2.11 operating system, a
TRAP D results
6.2 CPQHLTH.EXE
is required to run in conjunction with the CPQHLTH.SYS device
driver in order for
the Automatic Server Recovery feature and thermal condition shutdown
to work.
6.3 This driver does not support ASR UPS Recovery feature.
6.4 The driver does not report CPU cache errors on systems wherein more
than one processor is installed with OS/2 for SMP 2.11 or OS/2 Warp Server
Advanced with SMP 4.0 running.
6.5 The driver does not support Integrated Remote Console(IRC) feature on systems
wherein more than one processor is installed with OS/2 for SMP 2.11 or OS/2 Warp Server
Advanced with SMP 4.0 running.
6.6 The Integrated Management Log feature is available on following servers:
ProLiant 1200
ProLiant 800
ProLiant 1600
ProLiant 3000
ProLiant 6000
ProLiant 6500
ProLiant 7000
CPQB32.SYS should be installed on the system for enabling the
Integrated Management Log feature. Please refer to Compaq 32-Bit helper driver
7.1 If the hardware supports the Correctable Error Log then the driver will keep
count of the number of correctable errors that occur in one minute. If the number
of errors exceeds twice the system's threshold in one minute, then the driver will disable
the hardware reporting these errors to maintain overall system performance.
Memory corrections will continue to occur, but the reporting will be disabled
until the next time the operating system is booted.
7.2 To determine whether the Automatic Server Recovery is currently active and
working under OS/2, type the following at a command prompt:
PSTAT > PSTAT.TMP
In the example given the output of PSTAT will be placed in a file named PSTAT.TMP.
This output shows all the processes currently running under OS/2.
Print out the PSTAT.TMP
or use a text editor to browse its contents. You should find
a process name of
CPQHLTH.EXE or CPQHLTH if the Automatic Server Recovery
feature is currently active.
7.3 If it is necessary to reinstall the CPQHLTH.SYS and
CPQHLTH.EXE files after they
are already active on the system,
then follow these steps:
1. Modify your CONFIG.SYS file by placing "REM" in front of the CPQHLTH.SYS and
CPQHLTH.EXE lines.
Example:
REM DEVICE=C:\OS2\CPQSMGT.SYS
REM RUN=C:\OS2\CPQHLTH.EXE
2. Reboot your machine, the driver will not be active at this time.
3. Place the OS/2 Support Software Diskette 5 labeled "OS/2 System and Storage Drivers-2"
into a floppy drive and follow only step 4.2 of the installation process described above.
4. Modify your CONFIG.SYS file by removing the "REM" in front of the
CPQHLTH.SYS and CPQHLTH.EXE lines placed there in step 1 above. Example:
DEVICE=C:\OS2\CPQHLTH.SYS
RUN=C:\OS2\CPQHLTH.EXE
5. The next time OS/2 is started the new driver will be loaded.
