Reboot/Restart Policy Setup

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

Use this service aid to display and change the following settings for the following:

vBoot Policy Setup.

vMinimum Number of Reboot Attempts

vEnter a number that is 0 or greater.

Note: A value of 0 indicates ²do not attempt to reboot² to a crashed system.

This number is the maximum number of consecutive attempts allowed to reboot the system. The term reboot, when used in context of this service aid, describes the system hardware being brought back up. Examples would be a system reset or turning on the power on.

When the maximum number of reboot attempts is exceeded, the system calls out if that function has been enabled.

When the reboot process completes successfully, the reboot-attempts count is reset to 0, and a restart begins. The term restart, when used in context of this service aid, describes 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 reboot attempts.

vEnable Restart Policy (1=Yes, 0=No)

When the service processor detects operating system inactivity, an enabled ²Restart Policy² causes a system reset, and the reboot process begins.

vCall-Out Before Restart (on/off)

When enabled, ²Call-Out Before Restart² allows the system to call out (on a serial port that is enabled for call out) when an operating system restart is initiated. Such call-outs can be valuable if the number becomes excessive, which signals bigger problems

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

When enabled, ²Unattended Start Mode² allows the system to recover from the loss of ac power.
