Reboot is the process of bringing up the system hardware; for example, from a system reset or power
on. Restart is activating the operating system after the system hardware is reinitialized. Restart must
follow a successful reboot.
– Number of reboot attempts - If the server fails to successfully complete the boot process, it
attempts to reboot the number of times specified. Entry values equal to or greater than 0 are valid.
Only successive failed reboot/restart attempts are counted.
– Use OS-Defined restart policy - In a full system partition, this allows the service processor to react
in the same way that the operating system does to major system faults by reading the setting of the
operating system parameter Automatically Restart/Reboot After a System Crash. This parameter
might already be defined, depending on the operating system or its version or level. If the operating
system automatic restart setting is defined, it can be set to respond to a major fault by restarting or
by not restarting. See your operating system documentation for details on setting up operating
system automatic restarts. The default value is No.
On a partitioned system, this setting is ignored.
