Use restart system values to change and view when to restart the system and what will happen when the system is restarted.
These system values include values that apply to IPL (initial program load). To access the restart category of system values, select Configuration and Services in iSeries™ Navigator. Then, select System Values.
If you are familiar with the i5/OS™ character-based interface, you will notice that iSeries Navigator uses descriptive names for the system values. For a quick overview of the restart system values available in iSeries Navigator (and their counterparts in the character-based interface), refer to the following table. Follow the links to learn more about each system value.
