Change Hardware Vital Product Data
Use this service aid to display the Display/Alter VPD Selection Menu. The menu lists
all resources installed on the system. When a resource is selected a menu is
displayed that lists all the VPD for that resource.
Note: The user cannot alter the VPD for a specific resource unless it is not machine
readable.
Configure Dials and LPFKeys
This service aid provides a tool for configuring and removing dials/LPFKs to the
asynchronous serial ports.
Since version 4.1.3 a tty must be defined on the async port before the Dials and
LPFKs can be configured on the port. Before version 4.2 the Dials and LPFKs could
only be configured on the standard serial ports. At version 4.2 the Dials and LPFKs
can be configured on any async port.
This selection invokes the SMIT utility to allow Dials and LPFKs configuration. A tty
must be in the available state on the async port before the Dials and LPFKs can be
configured on the port. The task allows an async adapter to be configured, then a
tty port defined on the adapter, and then Dials and LPFKs can be defined on the
port.
Configure Reboot Policy
This service aid controls how the system tries to recover from a system crash.
Use this service aid to display and change the following settings for the Reboot
Policy.
Note: Because of system capability, some of the following settings may not be
displayed by this service aid.
Maximum Number of Reboot Attempts
Enter a number that is 0 or greater.
Note: A value of 0 indicates 'do not attempt to reboot' to a crashed system.
This number is the maximum number of consecutive attempts to reboot the
system. The term "reboot", in the context of this service aid, is used to describe
bringing system hardware back up from scratch, for example from a system reset
or power on.
