What can I do with this system value?

You may specify a date and time when an automatic restart should occur.

You can set this system value independently in each partition. Partitions allow you to distribute resources within a single physical system to make it function as if it were two or more independent systems. If the primary partition is powered down at the time an automatic restart should occur in a secondary partition, the restart will not occur. When the primary partition does restart, the secondary partition is restarted if its restart date and time is past due.

The secondary partition will not restart if it was configured with a restart action of hold.

This system value has two parts, date and time.

If the date and time have already occurred when the system is powered down or the system is running when the date and time occur, no restart is performed. After the scheduled restart occurs once, no further restarts are scheduled.

If the system observes Daylight Saving Time, you cannot change the date and time to the hour that Daylight Saving Time affects. For example, if the system clock moves from 2:00 to 3:00 on April 6 for Daylight Saving Time, you cannot change the time to a value that is greater than or equal to 2:00 and less than 3:00 on April 6th.
