See Figure 3-22 for an example of managed system IPL properties.
Figure 3-22 Managed system - IPL properties
The Power On parameters tab (Figure 3-22) shows information related to how the partition
will be booted up or powered on. The drop down boxes for Power On have the following
options:
򐂰 Keylock position — Normal or Manual. These are the same condition states as the
existing 8xx or earlier model keylock states.
򐂰 Power-on type — Fast or slow. This indicates how the system will boot up and whether it
will IPL the full partition hardware or not. Fast can be a very speedy IPL, a few minutes.
򐂰 Power-on option — standby. This is an important condition and allows the server to power
on without starting or sensing the bus structure. When migrating LPAR configs, you must
start in standby and have no new hardware attached, or you will lose your LPAR bus
numbering.
򐂰 i5/OS IPL source — A, B, C, D. Again, these are the same as the existing i5/OS IPL
states, A (permanently applied PTFs), B (temporary applied PTFs), C (service mode), and
D (IPL from external media, CD, DVD etc.).
򐂰 AIX/Linux boot mode — normal.
򐂰 Advanced options — show or hide by clicking radio buttons. This will then display the
following additional information.
