This read-write enumerated value controls the Automatic Server Recovery watchdog feature, where set operations always fail while the value is other or notAvailable, and setting it to disabled or enabled turns the feature off or on, with disabling it also disabling several related ASR objects. An admin toggles this to control whether the server automatically reboots itself after the ASR timer detects a hang or crash. Disabling cpqHeAsrStatus during a controlled kernel-debugging session prevents the watchdog from rebooting the server mid-investigation.
