IBM 6C4, 6.00E+04 manual Use OS-Defined restart policy is set to No, OS Automatic

Use OS-Defined restart policy - The default setting is no. If set to yes, this causes the service processor to refer to the OS Automatic Restart Policy setting and take action (the same action the operating system would take if it could have responded to the problem causing the restart).

When this setting is no, or if the operating system did not set a policy, the service processor refers to enable supplemental restart policy for its action.

Enable supplemental restart policy - The default setting is yes. If set to yes, the service processor restarts the system when the operating system loses control 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 ªService Processor Reboot/Restart Recoveryº on page 59.
