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
Run DDINSTAL.EXE at the OS/2 command prompt to copy CPQSMGT.SYS
and CPQHLTH.EXE to
the \OS2 subdirectory on your system. 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 Selecting `Compaq System Management 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. ...):
BASEDEV=CPQSMGT.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.
6.1 CPQHLTH.EXE
is required to run in conjunction with the CPQSMGT.SYS device
driver in order for
the Automatic Server Recovery feature and thermal condition
shutdown
to work.
6.2 The ASR UPS Recovery feature is not supported by this driver.
6.3 The driver
does not report CPU cache errors on the following systems with more
one
processor installed, running OS/2 Warp Server
Advanced
with SMP 4.0:
Compaq ProLiant
800 6/350-1, ProLiant 1600 6/400-1,
Compaq ProLiant 1600R 6/400-1 and ProLiant 1600 6/350-1servers:
Compaq ProLiant 1850; Compaq ProLiant 5500 6/400-512 Model 1-128;
Compaq ProLiant 6000 Pentium II Xeon, Compaq ProLiant 7000 Pentium II
Xeon and Compaq ProLiant 6500 model 6/400.
6.4 Integrated
Remote Console (IRC) support is not provided for OS/2 Warp Server
Advanced with SMP
4.0 if multiple processors
are installed on
the following platforms:
Compaq ProLiant
800 6/350-1, ProLiant 1600 6/400-1,
Compaq ProLiant 1600R 6/400-1 and ProLiant 1600 6/350-1servers:
Compaq ProLiant 1850; Compaq ProLiant 5500 6/400-512 Model 1-128;
Compaq ProLiant 6000 Pentium II Xeon, Compaq ProLiant 7000 Pentium II
Xeon and Compaq ProLiant 6500 model 6/400.
6.5 The
Integrated Management Log feature is available on
Compaq ProLiant
800 6/350-1, ProLiant 1600 6/400-1,
Compaq ProLiant 1600R 6/400-1 and ProLiant 1600 6/350-1servers:
Compaq ProLiant 1850; Compaq ProLiant 5500 6/400-512 Model 1-128;
Compaq ProLiant 6000 Pentium II Xeon, Compaq ProLiant 7000 Pentium II
Xeon and Compaq ProLiant 6500 model 6/400.
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 CPQSMGT.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 CPQSMGT.SYS
and CPQHLTH.EXE lines. Example:
REM BASEDEV=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 4 labeled "OS/2 System and Storage Drivers-1"
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
CPQSMGT.SYS and CPQHLTH.EXE
lines placed there in step 1 above. Example:
BASEDEV=CPQSMGT.SYS
RUN=C:\OS2\CPQHLTH.EXE
5. The next time OS/2 is started the new driver will be loaded.
