86 Logical Partitions on System i5
Restart Partition
As explained in the text shown in Figure 3-54, this option should only be used with caution.
Restarting a partition will result in an abnormal IPL of i5/OS, which is not what you want to do.
Only use this option if all else fails, or under the direction of Support personnel.
As the text goes on to explain, this would primarily be used for an i5/OS hang situation.
Again, this is something that does not happen often, and would result in a call to Support for
assistance before using this option on a production system.
