Boot to system server firmware
Select the state for the system server firmware: standby or running.
System power off policy
Select the system power off policy. The system power off policy flag is a system parameter
that controls the system's behavior when the last partition (or the only partition in the case of
a system that is not managed by an HMC) is powered off. The choices are:
1) Power off. (When the last partition is shut down, the system will power down)
2) Stay on. (When the last partition powers off, the system will stay powered up.)
3) Automatic. (This is the default setting. When the system is not partitioned, the behavior is
the same as “power off”. When the system is partitioned, the behavior of the system is the
same as “stay on”.)
i5/OS partition boot mode
Select the i5/OS partition mode for next system boot. This option is available only when the
system is not HMC-managed.
Save settings
Click this button to save the selected options. The power state will not change.
Save settings and power on/off
Click this button to save the selected options and change the system power state. The
power-on option is available only when the system is powered off, and vice versa.
Save settings and continue system server firmware boot
Click this button to save the selected options and change the system server firmware state.
This option is available only when the system server firmware is in standby mode.
