Change	Hardware	Vital	Product	Data
Use	this	service aid to			display	the	Display/Alter		VPD Selection Menu. The	menu	lists
all resources			installed on the system. When					a resource is selected a menu is
displayed		that lists		all the VPD for that				resource.
Note:	The	user	cannot	alter	the VPD	for	a	specific	resource unless it is	not	machine
readable.
Configure	Dials	and	LPFKeys

This service aid provides a tool for configuring and removing dials/LPFKs to the asynchronous serial ports.

Since

version

4.1.3

a

tty

must

be

defined

on

the async port

before the

Dials

and

LPFKs

can

be

configured on

the port. Before version 4.2 the Dials and LPFKs could

only

be

configured

on

the

standard serial ports. At version

4.2

the Dials

and

LPFKs

can be configured on any

async

port.

This

selection

invokes

the

SMIT utility

to

allow

Dials

and

LPFKs

configuration. A

tty

must be in the available

state on the async port before the Dials and LPFKs can be

configured on

the

port. The task

allows

an

async

adapter

to

be

configured,

then

a

tty port defined on the

adapter,

and then

Dials

and LPFKs

can

be defined

on

the

port.

Configure Reboot Policy

This service aid controls how the system tries to recover from a system crash.

Use this service aid to display and change the following settings for the Reboot Policy.

Note: Because of system capability, some of the following settings may not be displayed by this service aid.

ŸMaximum Number of Reboot Attempts

Enter a number that is 0 or greater.

Note: A value of 0 indicates 'do not attempt to reboot' to a crashed system.

This	number	is	the maximum number of consecutive attempts to	reboot	the
system. The term "reboot", in the context of this service				aid, is used to describ
bringing system			hardware back up from scratch, for example	from a	system reset
or	power	on.
