Policy.

v Surveillance
v Surveillance Time Interval, in minutes
Maximum time between heartbeats from the operating system.
v Surveillance Delay, in minutes
Time to delay between when the operating system is in control and when to begin
operating system surveillance.

immediately. Otherwise, the changes take effect beginning with the next system boot.
You can access this service aid directly from the AIX command line by entering:

to create a stand-alone diagnostic package configuration diskette.
The Stand-Alone Diagnostic Package Configuration Diskette allows the following to be
changed from the console:

The refresh rate used by the stand-alone diagnostic package is 60Hz. If the display's
refresh rate is 77Hz, set the refresh rate to 77.
v Different async terminal console
Use this service aid to create a console configuration file that allows a terminal
attached to any RS232 or RS422 adapter to be selected as a console device. The
default device is RS232 TTY attached to the first standard serial port (S1).
