The scan log dump content can be set to the following:
1 = As Requested
The processor run-time diagnostics will select the contents of the dump file based on the type of
error that occurs. This is the default.
2 = Optimum
The dump will include the smallest amount of information to diagnose a hardware error.
3 = Complete
The dump will include as much information as possible to allow the complete analysis of hardware
and software errors.
4 = Minimum
The dump will include the smallest amount of information possible (a minimum number of
hardware scan log rings).
The complete dump will take the longest time to finish; it may take as long as 1.5 hours on a fully
configured system.
Option 3, Immediate Dump, can only be used when the system is in the standby state with power on. It is
used to dump the system data after a checkstop or machine check occurs when the system firmware is
running, or when the operating system is booting or running.
The scan log dump content can also be set from the Tasks menu in the AIX diagnostic service aids.
If a valid dump file already exists, the dump control code will stop because the contents of the prior dump
must be protected.

Use this option to instruct the service processor to restore the power state of the system after a
temporary power failure. Unattended start mode can also be set through the System Management
Services (SMS) menus. This option is intended to be used on systems that require automatic power-on
after a power failure. For more information, see "System Power-On Methods" on page 51.
