Creating a login profile

Use the Login Profiles window to view a summary list of all login profiles and
configure individual login profiles. You can define up to 12 unique profiles.
Complete the following steps to configure a login profile:
Power Off Delay
Attention: Read the following information to prevent the loss of data
or damage to data when you perform a remote shutdown of your
operating system:
a. If the Windows 2000, Windows NT, Red Hat Linux, or SuSE Linux
operating system is installed on your server, you need to install only
the Remote Supervisor Adapter device driver to support remote
operating system shutdown.
Note: If the value is less than 45 seconds in the Power off delay
field, the device driver will adjust the value to 45 seconds
when the device driver loads. You can decrease the
power-off delay value after the server has started, but the
device driver will reset it to 45 seconds on the next server
restart. The device driver will not change a power-off delay
value that is 45 seconds or greater.
b. If the Novell NetWare, SCO UnixWare, or Caldera Open UNIX
operating system is installed on your server, you need to install both
the Remote Supervisor Adapter device driver and IBM Director
Agent, to support remote operating system shutdown. When you
install the Director Agent, be sure to select the Management
Processor Assistant (MPA) check box.
Use the Power Off Delay field to specify the number of minutes that
the Remote Supervisor Adapter or ASM processor will wait for the
operating system to shut down before turning off the server. By default,
the Remote Supervisor Adapter waits 30 seconds.
Shut down your server to determine how long it takes to shut down. Add
a time buffer to that value and use it as your power-off delay setting to
ensure that the operating system has time for an orderly shutdown
before power is removed from the server.
NMI reset delay
Use the NMI reset delay field to specify the length of time, in minutes,
that the Remote Supervisor Adapter waits to automatically restart the
server after a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) is triggered. A nonmaskable
interrupt usually indicates a critical error such as a hardware fault. A
nonmaskable interrupt usually signals a parity error in the memory
subsystem.
To disable the automatic server restart after a nonmaskable interrupt,
select Disabled.
Note: The NMI reset delay field is not available on all servers.
