IBM RS/6000 44P manual Configure Remote Maintenance Policy

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.

vCall-Out Before Restart(on/off)

When enabled, Call-Out Before Restart allows the system to call out (on a serial port that is enabled for call out) when an operating system restart is initiated. Such calls can be valuable if the number of these events becomes excessive, thus signalling bigger problems.

vEnable Unattended Start Mode (1=Yes, 0=No)

When enabled, 'Unattended Start Mode' allows the system to recover from the loss of ac power.

If the system was powered on when the ac loss occurred, the system reboots when power is restored. If the system was powered off when the ac loss occurred, the system remains off when power is restored.
