HP AutoPilot Software Components

The HP AutoPilot software stored on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM consists
of two components: NSA 3.0 Server software and HP AutoPilot Client software.
NSA 3.0 Server Software
Specialized HP AutoPilot software must be installed on each HP NetServer and
includes:
HP SNMP Software HP's Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) based
software works behind the scenes to identify changes in the HP NetServer status.
When a monitored operation on the server exceeds a pre-defined threshold, a
notice is relayed over the network using SNMP software (installed at both the HP
NetServer and HP AutoPilot Client).
HP Automatic Server Restart Automatic Server Restart (ASR) eases the burden
of dealing with a system crash or "hang" by automatically restarting the system if a
failure occurs. ASR uses a combination of software and hardware to do this. (The
hardware components are built in to the HP NetServer.)
