Configure Isa Adapter; Configure Reboot Policy - IBM RS/6000 User Manual

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.
v Maximum 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 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.
v 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'.
v Enable Supplemental Restart Policy (1=Yes, 0=No)
