Restart system values: Allow remote power-on and restart
The Allow remote power-on and restart system value is also known as QRMTIPL. You can use this system value to specify whether remote power-on and system restart can be started over a telephone line.
| Quick reference | |
|---|---|
| Location | From IBM® Navigator for i, select . Right-click on Restart and click Properties, then select theGeneral tab. |

What can I do with this system value?
If you allow remote power-on and restart (1), any telephone call causes the system to restart. In the character-based interface, a value of 0 indicates that remote power-on and restart is not allowed.
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. A restart of the partitions when the system restarts depends on the Restart option selected for the partition in its Hardware Management Console profile.
On 5xx models that are not partitioned, you can also set this value using IBM Navigator for i.
Using partitions, you can distribute resources within a single physical system to make it function as if it were two or more independent systems.
