What can I do with this system value?

You may specify the action for your system to take when a console problem occurs during an attended restart.

The following are possible options:

Continue restart unattended (1)
Continues the restart in an unattended mode rather than an attended mode. By selecting this option, the restart will continue even if a console problem occurs.
End restart (0)
Ends the restart when the console is no longer operational during an attended restart.

You should select End restart if there are no workstations other than the console on the system or if the controlling subsystem supports only the console and does not start other subsystems that support other workstations.
