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.
ORThe Use OS-Defined restart policy is set to Yes and the operating system has no
automatic restart policy.
Refer to “Service Processor Reboot/Restart Recovery” on page 59.
