Monitoring And Alert Management; Configuring The Managed System To Capture The Last Crash Screen - Dell IDRAC6 User Manual

Monitoring and Alert Management

This section explains how to monitor the iDRAC6 and provides procedures to
configure your system and the iDRAC6 to receive alerts.
Configuring the Managed System to Capture the
Last Crash Screen
Before the iDRAC6 can capture the last crash screen, you must configure the
managed system with the following prerequisites.
1 Install the managed system software. For more information about installing
the managed system software, see the Server Administrator User's Guide.
2 Run a supported Microsoft Windows operating system with the Windows
automatically reboot feature deselected in the Windows Startup and
Recovery Settings.
3 Enable the Last Crash Screen (disabled by default).
To enable the Last Crash Screen using local RACADM, open a command
prompt and type the following commands:
racadm config -g cfgRacTuning -o
cfgRacTuneAsrEnable 1
4 Enable the Auto Recovery timer and set the Auto Recovery action to
Reset, Power Off, or Power Cycle. To configure the Auto Recovery timer,
you must use Server Administrator or IT Assistant.
For information about how to configure the Auto Recovery timer, see the
Server Administrator User's Guide. To ensure that the last crash screen can
be captured, the Auto Recovery timer must be set to 60 seconds or greater.
The default setting is 480 seconds.
The last crash screen is not available when the Auto Recovery action is set
to Shutdown or Power Cycle if the managed system has crashed.
