John, Adding the -i switch did indeed prevent the machines from rebooting after terminating a hung hpasmd, felt like a countdown timer was reaching 0 a minute or so after terminating the process and ASR was generating an NMI and rebooting the server. Unfortunately the hpasmd process hung on all 6 test machines within 48 hours of starting it, so something about freebsd 6.0 and/or the dual xeon setup is confusing hpasmd and it just stops working after a random interval (2-48 hours in our case). Our development team has put a hold on deploying hpasmd to the servers because of it's instability with respect to FreeBSD. I wish HP would just put out the source so that we could have a go at it. I'm guessing that your port of the tool to freebsd was a skunkworks project that never gained internal traction at HP? -mike On Mar 1, 2006, at 10:37 AM, Mike Holloway wrote: > > Thanks, I'll give your recommendations a go and report back to the > list in a couple of days. > > -mike > > > On Feb 28, 2006, at 6:52 PM, jmc wrote: > >> Mike, >> >> Did you try to disable ASR (automatic server recovery) in the BIOS >> settings?
