Configure Remote Maintenance Policy - IBM pSeries 690 User Manual

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.
v Enable 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.
You can access this service aid directly from the AIX command line, by typing:
