What can I do with this system value?

You can specify how to handle the restart operation of your system. This system value has the following options:

Unattended (0)
No displays that require user interaction are shown during the restart operation. The normal sign-on display is shown when the restart is complete. If the system is in manual mode, the Unattended operating mode changes to the Attended operating mode with dedicated service tools.

All dedicated service tools functions are available along with the full set of restart displays.

This option restarts the system and leaves the controller QCTL and device QCONSOLE varied on. Select this option only for problem analysis because it prevents other devices on the workstation controller from being used.
