Verifying that the server supports partitions that are capable of the simplified version of the remote restart feature

Before planning to enable the simplified version of the remote restart capability of a logical partition, verify that the server supports partitions that are capable of the simplified version of the remote restart feature by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC).

To verify that the server supports partitions that are capable of the simplified version of the remote restart feature, complete the following steps:

  1. In the navigation pane, open Systems Management and select Servers.
  2. Select the server in the work pane.
  3. From the Tasks menu, select Properties.
  4. Click the Capabilities tab.
    • If PowerVM Partition Simplified Remote Restart Capable is True, the server supports the simplified version of the remote restart feature.
    • If PowerVM Partition Simplified Remote Restart Capable is False, the server does not support the simplified version of the remote restart feature.

    The HMC Classic interface is not supported in Hardware Management Console (HMC) Version 8.7.0, or later. The functions that were previously available in the HMC Classic interface are now available in the HMC Enhanced+ interface.

    When the HMC is at version 8.7.0, or later, complete the following steps to verify that the server supports partitions that are capable of the simplified version of the remote restart feature:
    1. In the navigation pane, click the Resources icon The icon represents the Resources function of the HMC.
    2. Click All Systems. The All Systems page is displayed.
    3. In the work pane, select the system and click Actions > View System Properties. The Properties page is displayed.
    4. Click Licensed Capabilities. The Licensed Capabilities page lists the features that are supported by the server.
    5. In the Licensed Capabilities page, verify the list of features displayed.
      • If PowerVM Partition Simplified Remote Restart Capable is marked by the The icon represents the availability of a feature in the HMC icon, server supports the simplified version of the remote restart feature.
      • If PowerVM Partition Simplified Remote Restart Capable is marked by the The icon represents the non-availability of a feature in the HMC icon, the server does not support the simplified version of the remote restart feature.
  5. Click OK.
