Setting server time-outs

To set server time-outs:

1In the navigation pane, select System Settings under the ASM Control heading. The System Settings window appears.

2POST Watchdog [default: Enabled, 5 minutes]: Use this field to specify the number of minutes that the RSA will wait for the S8500 Media Server to complete a power-on self-test (POST). If the S8500 Media Server fails to complete a POST within the selected time period, the RSA generates a POST time-out and reboots the S8500 Media Server. At that point the POST watchdog is disabled until:

•The operating system is shut down and the server is power cycled.

•The operating system starts and the ASM device drivers successfully load.

To set the POST watchdog, select a value from the drop-down menu. To turn this option off, select Disabled.

3O/S Watchdog [default: Enabled, 2.5 minutes]: Use this field to specify the number of minutes between checks of the operating system by the RSA. If the operating system fails to respond to a check, the RSA generates an O/S time-out alert and reboots the S8500 Media Server. The O/S alert is generated only if the O/S Timeout check box has been selected in the Monitored Alert section of the Alerts page (see Alerts for more information). After the S8500 Media Server is restarted, the O/S Watchdog is disabled until the S8500 is shut down and power cycled.

To set the O/S Watchdog, select a value from the drop-down menu. To turn this option off, select Disabled.

4Loader Watchdog [default: Enabled, 5 minutes]: Use this field to specify the number of minutes that the RSA waits between completion of POST and the start of the operating system. If the value that was selected for the Loader Watchdog is exceeded, the RSA generates a Loader time-out alert and restarts the S8500 Media Server. The Loader Watchdog alert is generated only if the Loader Time-out check box has been selected in the Remote Alert section of the Alerts page (see Alerts for more information). At this point, the Loader Watchdog is disabled until:

•The operating system shuts down and the server power cycles.

•The operating system starts and the ASM device drivers successfully load.

To set the Loader Watchdog, select a value from the drop-down menu.To turn this option off, select Disabled.

5Power Off Delay [default: Enabled, 0.5 minutes]: Use this field to set the amount of time in one minute increments that the S8500 Media Server delays shutting down to ensure that the shutdown of the operating system has completed.

NOTE:

If the power off selected value is less then 45 seconds, the RSA device drivers automatically set the value to 45 seconds when they load. The value can be decreased once the S8500 Media Server has started but the RSA device driver resets the value to be 45 seconds the next time the server restarts. The RSA device drivers do not change a value that is 45 seconds or greater.

To set the Power Off Delay, select a value from the drop down menu.
