Omconfig system platformevents or omconfig servermodule platformevents
Use the omconfig system platformevents or omconfig servermodule platformevents command to configure shutdown action, if any,
taken for a specific platform event. You can also enable or disable platform event filter alert generation.
CAUTION: If you set a platform event shutdown action to anything other than none or power reduction , the system is
forcefully shut down when the specified event occurs. This shutdown is initiated by firmware and is carried out without
first shutting down the operating system or any of the applications running on your system.
The following table displays the valid parameters for the command.
NOTE: Alert settings are mutually exclusive and you can set one at a time only. The action settings are also mutually
exclusive and you can set one at a time only. However, alert and action settings are not mutually exclusive of each other.
