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.

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.
Ÿ
Use OS-Defined restart policy lets the Service Processor 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.
