What Is AutoRestart/iX?

AutoRestart/iX is a software product that automatically restarts your system in the event of a system software failure. It minimizes system recovery time and automatically saves system state information to disk using data compression, for later analysis.

If the system fails, AutoRestart/iX resets the system, dumps failure state information to disk, then restarts the system.

This fully automatic process requires no operator intervention. In addition, dump-to-disk takes substantially less time than the traditional dump-to-tape method.

Once the system transfers error information to disk, you can begin problem analysis. This saves you from transferring error information from tape to disk. You can perform problem analysis locally or remotely.

	NOTE: AutoRestart/iX is supported on MPE/iX release A.40.00 or later.
