O/S Timeout
O/S Timeout
A periodic signal is sent from the Advanced Remote Management controller to the O/S to
confirm that the O/S is running properly. The O/S Timeout event occurs when the O/S the
Advanced Remote Management controller performs its automatic dialout functions if there is no response
to the signal, that is, if the O/S Timeout pulse is not detected.
The O/S Timeout field shows the number of seconds that the
Advanced Systems Management Adapter will wait for the system's
operating system to stop responding before generating a O/S
Timeout event. If the O/S takes longer than the configured amount
of time to respond and the device driver is installed and running
correctly, the Advanced Systems Management Adapter will attempt
to restart the system, and if the O/S timeout check box (found in the
Enabled Alerts Dialout group of the Automatic Dialout Settings
window) is checked, the Service Processor will automatically restart
the system one time and will attempt to forward an alert to all
enabled Dialout Entries.
To set the O/S timeout value, use the spin buttons beside the O/S
Timeout field to set the number of seconds that the Advanced
Systems Management Adapter will wait for the system's operating
system to stop responding before generating a O/S Timeout event.
Then, click on Apply to save this value.
For more information on the Automatic Dialout Settings window, see
'Automatic Dialout Settings'.
