What can I do with this system value?
You can specify whether the system should automatically restart when utility power returns after a power failure. In the character-based interface, a value of 1 indicates that the system should automatically restart, and a value of 0 indicates that the system should not automatically restart.
On partitioned 8xx models, you can select this option only on the primary partition. To select this option on the primary partition, use IBM Navigator for i. Whether a secondary partition is restarted at the same time as the primary partition depends on the Restart option selected for the secondary partition.
On partitioned 5xx models, you must change this system value from the Advanced System Management (ASM) interface of the service processor. Attempts to change this value through the standard system value interfaces fail with an error message referencing a service processor failure. The partitions only restart when the system is restarted if the partition's automatic power restart is armed. Automatic power restart is armed for partitions that are powered on. Automatic power restart might or might not be armed for partitions that are powered off.
On 5xx models that are not partitioned, you can also set this system value using IBM Navigator for i.
