Our IBM RISC System/6000 E30 does not boot after
a power fault. It is necessary to press the power
switch to boot it.

Is it possible to change its behavior,
so it automatically boot when the power returns?

Thanks,

Joao

Check the service processor setup.
There is an option for unattended boot in power section.

In SMIT

System Environment - Change / Show Characteristics of Operating System

I have:

Automatically REBOOT system after a crash true

But it keeps halted, until the power switch is pressed.

Was that parameter you meant with "Check the service processor setup"?

Thank you,

Joao

When trying to access the service processor setup
I get the error 80072000 (The service processor is not
installed. Service processor update cancelled). Is it
impossible to boot a RS/6000 E30 unattended without
a service processor?

Thanks,

Joao
