Full System Partition
The Full System Partition power-on option allows you to use all of
the system's resources on one operating system after the system has been
powered on. This is the tradtional one-system method of using your system's
resources.
Power On Normal Profile
This profile boots an operating system from the designated boot device.
Power On Diagnostic Default Boot List
This selection is similar to Power On Diagnostic Stored Boot List Profile,
except the system boots using the default boot list that is stored in the
system firmware. This is normally used to try to boot diagnostics from
the CD-ROM drive. Using this option to boot the system is the preferred
way to run standalone diagnostics.
Power On Diagnostic Stored Boot List
This selection causes the system to perform a service mode boot using
the service mode boot list saved on the managed system. If the system boots
AIX from the disk drive and AIX diagnostics are loaded on the disk drive,
AIX boots to the diagnostics menu. Using this option to boot the system
is the preferred way to run online diagnostics.
Power on SMS Profile
This profile boots to the System Management Services (SMS) menus.
The SMS menus include:
1. Password Utilities
2. Display Error Log
3. Remote Initial Program Load Setup
4. SCSI Utilities
5. Select Console
6. MultiBoot
7. Select Language
8. OK Prompt
For more information about SMS menus, see the eServer pSeries 690 User's
Guide, order number SA38-0588.
Power On Open Firmware OK Prompt
This option should only be used by service personnel to obtain additional
debug information. When this selection is enabled, the system boots to
the open firmware prompt. The physical operator panel on your managed system
displays progress codes when you boot the system to this mode. To learn
more about these options, see the service documentation for your managed
system.
System Profile
The system profile powers on the system according to a predefined set
of profiles. Note: The profiles are activated in the order they are shown
in the system profile.
Auto Start
This option powers on the managed system to partition standby mode and
then activates all partitions that have been powered on by the HMC at least
once.
