Failure
During
Boot
Process
During
the
boot
process,
either
initially
after
system
power-on
or
upon
reboot
after
a
system
failure,
the
service
processor
monitors
the
boot
progress.
If
progress
stops,
the
service
processor
can
re-initiate
the
boot
process
(reboot)
if
enabled
to
do
so.
The
service
processor
can
re-attempt
this
process
according
to
the
number
of
retries
that
has
been
set
in
the
Reboot/Restart
Policy
Setup
Menu.
Failure
During
Normal
System
Operation
When
the
boot
process
completes
and
control
transfers
to
the
operating
system
(OS),
the
service
processor
can
monitor
operating
system
activity
(see
the
Set
Surveillance
Parameters
option
in
the
Service
Processor
Setup
Menu).
If
OS
activity
stops
due
to
a
hardware-
or
software-induced
failure,
the
service
processor
can
initiate
a
reboot/restart
process
based
on
the
settings
in
the
Service
Processor
Reboot/Restart
Policy
Setup
Menu
and
the
OS
automatic
restart
settings
(see
the
operating
system
documentation).
If
you
are
using
the
AIX
operating
system,
the
menu
item
under
SMIT
for
setting
the
restart
policy
is
Automatically
Reboot
After
Crash
(True/False).
The
default
is
false.
When
the
setting
is
true,
and
if
the
service
processor
parameter
″
Use
OS-Defined
Restart
Policy
″
is
yes
(the
default),
the
service
processor
takes
over
for
AIX
to
reboot/restart
after
a
hardware
or
surveillance
failure.
Service
Processor
Reboot/Restart
Policy
Controls
The
operating
system’s
automatic
restart
policy
(see
operating
system
documentation)
indicates
the
operating
system
response
to
a
system
crash.
The
service
processor
can
be
instructed
to
refer
to
that
policy
by
the
Use
OS-Defined
Restart
Policy
setup
menu.
If
the
operating
system
has
no
automatic
restart
policy,
or
if
it
is
disabled,
then
the
service
processor
restart
policy
can
be
controlled
from
the
service
processor
menus.
Use
the
Enable
Supplemental
Restart
Policy
selection.
Use
OS-Defined
restart
policy
-
The
default
setting
is
yes.
This
causes
the
service
processor
to
refer
to
the
OS
automatic
restart
policy
setting
and
take
action
(the
same
action
the
operating
system
would
take
if
it
could
have
responded
to
the
problem
causing
the
restart).
When
this
setting
is
no,
or
if
the
operating
system
did
not
set
a
policy,
the
service
processor
refers
to
enable
supplemental
restart
policy
for
its
action.
Enable
supplemental
restart
policy
-
The
default
setting
is
no.
If
set
to
yes,
the
service
processor
restarts
the
server
when
the
operating
system
loses
control
and
either:
The
Use
OS-Defined
restart
policy
is
set
to
no.
OR
The
Use
OS-Defined
restart
policy
is
set
to
yes
and
the
operating
system
has
no
automatic
restart
policy.
