Reboot is the process of bringing up the system hardware; for example, from a system
reset or power on. Restart is activating the operating system after the system hardware
is reinitialized. Restart must follow a successful reboot.
– Number of reboot attempts – If the server fails to successfully complete the boot
process, it attempts to reboot the number of times specified. Values equal to or greater
than 0 are valid. Only successive failed reboot/restart attempts are counted.
– Use OS–Defined restart policy – Allows the service processor to react or not react in
the same way as the operating system to major system faults by reading the setting of
the operating system parameter Automatically Restart/Reboot After a System
Crash. This parameter may or may not be defined, depending on the operating
system or its version/level. If the operating system automatic restart setting is defined,
then it can be set to respond to a major fault by restarting or by not restarting. See
your operating system documentation for details on setting up operating system
automatic restarts. The default value is YES.
– Enable supplemental restart policy – The default setting is NO. If set to YES, the
service processor restarts the system when the system loses control as detected by
service processor surveillance, and either:
– The Use OS–Defined restart policy is set to NO.
OR
– The Use OS–Defined restart policy is set to YES, and the operating system
has NO automatic restart policy.
Refer to ”Service Processor Reboot/Restart Recovery” on page 3-25.
– Call–Out before restart (Enabled/Disabled) – If a restart is necessary due to a
system fault, you can enable the service processor to call out and report the event.
This option can be valuable if the number of these events becomes excessive,
signalling a bigger problem.
• Power–On System
Allows immediate power–on of the system. For other power–on methods, see ”Powering
On the System” on page 2-2.
• Power–Off System
Allows the user to power–off the system.
