Configure Dials And Lpfkeys; Configure Reboot Policy - IBM Enterprise Server S80 User Manual

Configure Dials and LPFKeys

This service aid provides a tool for configuring and removing dials/LPFKs to the
asynchronous serial ports.
Since version 4.1.3 a TTY must be defined on the async port before the Dials and
LPFKs can be configured on the port. Before version 4.2 the Dials and LPFKs could
only be configured on the standard serial ports. At version 4.2 the Dials and LPFKs can
be configured on any async port.
This selection invokes the SMIT utility to allow Dials and LPFKs configuration. A TTY
must be in the available state on the async port before the Dials and LPFKs can be
configured on the port. The task allows an async adapter to be configured, then a TTY
port defined on the adapter, and then Dials and LPFKs can be defined on the port.

Configure Reboot Policy

This service aid controls how the system tries to recover from a system crash.
Use this service aid to display and change the following settings for the Reboot Policy.
Note: Because of system capability, some of the following settings may not be
v Maximum Number of Reboot Attempts
Enter a number that is 0 or greater.
Note: A value of 0 indicates 'do not attempt to reboot' to a crashed system.
This number is the maximum number of consecutive attempts to reboot the system.
The term "reboot", in the context of this service aid, is used to describe bringing
system hardware back up from scratch, for example from a system reset or power
on.
When the reboot process completes successfully, the reboot attempts count is reset
to 0, and a "restart" begins. The term "restart", in the context of this service aid, is
used to describe the operating system activation process. Restart always follows a
successful reboot.
When a restart fails, and a restart policy is enabled, the system attempts to reboot
for the maximum number of attempts.
v Use the O/S Defined Restart Policy (1=Yes, 0=No)
When 'Use the O/S Defined Restart Policy' is set to Yes, the system attempts to
reboot from a crash if the operating system has an enabled Defined Restart or
Reboot Policy.
When 'Use the O/S Defined Restart Policy' is set to No, or the operating system
restart policy is undefined, then the restart policy is determined by the 'Supplemental
Restart Policy'.
v Enable Supplemental Restart Policy (1=Yes, 0=No)
