Use	the system	reset	string option	to enter	the system reset string, which resets
the	machine when	it is	detected on	the main	console on Serial Port 1.

Use the Snoop Serial Port option to select the Serial Port to Snoop.

Note: Only Serial Port 1 is supported.

After Serial		Port	Snooping	is	correctly	configured, at any point after the system
unit is booted to AIX, whenever the						reset	string is	typed on the main console, the
system unit uses the Service Processor						reboot	policy	to restart.
Pressing	Enter	after the		reset string		is not	required, so make sure that the string
is not	common	or	trivial.	A	mixed-case	string is recommended.
