Configure ISA Adapter
This task uses SMIT to allow the identification and configuration of ISA adapters on systems that have an ISA bus and adapters.
Diagnostic support for ISA adapters not shown in the list may be supported from a supplemental diskette. You can use the Process Supplemental Media task to add ISA adapter support from a supplemental diskette.
Whenever an ISA adapter is installed, this service aid must be run and the adapter configured before the adapter can be tested. You must also run this service aid to remove an ISA adapter from the system whenever an ISA adapter is physically removed from the system.
If diagnostics are run on an ISA adapter that has been removed from the system, the diagnostics fail because the system cannot detect the ISA adapter.
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: Some of the following settings may not be displayed by this service aid.
vMaximum 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 describe bringing system hardware back up from scratch, for example from a system reset or power on.
When the reboot process completes successfully, the reboot attempts count is reset to 0, and a restart begins. The termrestart, 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.
vUse 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'.
vEnable Supplemental Restart Policy (1=Yes, 0=No)
