What can I do with this system value?

You may specify if remote power-on and restart can (1) or cannot (0) be started over a telephone line. This means that any telephone call causes the system to restart.

On partitioned AS/400® 7xx and iSeries 8xx servers, this option can only be selected on the primary partition. To select this option on the primary partition, use iSeries Navigator. Whether a secondary partition is restarted at the same time as the primary partition or not depends on the Restart option selected for the secondary partition.

On partitioned eServer™ i5 servers, this system value must be changed from the service processor's Advanced System Management (ASM) interface. Attempts to change this value through the standard system value interfaces will 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 for eServer profile.

On eServer i5 servers that are not partitioned, this value can also be set using iSeries Navigator.

For more information about partitions, see Logical partitions. Partitions allow you to distribute resources within a single physical system to make it function as if it were two or more independent systems.

In addition, see Model number to learn more about server models.
