When the reboot process completes successfully, the reboot attempts count is
reset to 0, and a "restart" begins. The term "restart", in the context of this service
aid, is used to describe the operating system activation process. Restart always
follows a successful reboot.
When a restart fails, and a restart policy is enabled, the system attempts to
reboot for the maximum number of attempts.
Use the O/S Defined Restart Policy (1=Yes, 0=No)
When 'Use the O/S Defined Restart Policy' is set to Yes, the system attempts to
reboot from a crash if the operating system has an enabled Defined Restart or
Reboot Policy.
When 'Use the O/S Defined Restart Policy' is set to No, or the operating system
restart policy is undefined, then the restart policy is determined by the
'Supplemental Restart Policy'.
Enable Supplemental Restart Policy (1=Yes, 0=No)
The 'Supplemental Restart Policy', if enabled, is used when the O/S Defined
Restart Policy is undefined, or is set to False.
When surveillance detects operating system inactivity during restart, an enabled
'Supplemental Restart Policy' causes a system reset and the reboot process
begins.
