7.5.2.3 Reboot/Restart Policy Setup Menu
Reboot describes bringing the system hardware back up from scratch, for
example, from a system reset or power on. The boot process ends when
control passes to the operating system process.
Restart describes activating the operating system after the system hardware
reinitialized. Restart must follow a successful reboot.
The following is an example of the Reboot/Restart Policy Setup Menu.
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 reboots attempts count, not reboots that
occur after a restart attempt. At restart, the counter is set to 0.
Use OS-Defined Restart Policy
This lets the SP react or not react the same as the operating system to major
system faults, by reading the setting of the operating system parameter
Automatically Restart/Reboot After a System Crash. This parameter may, or
may not be defined depending on the operating system or its version/level. If
the operating system automatic restart setting is defined, then it may 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 systems automatic
restarts. The default value is
YES .
Enable Supplemental Restart Policy
The default setting is
NO . If set to YES , the SP restarts the system when the
system loses control as detected by the SP surveillance, and either:
