Use the Advanced window to set options for the logical partition that you are activating.
Keylock position: Select a keylock position. The keylock position establishes the power-on and power-off modes allowed for the system. Possible values are:
Do not Override: Uses the current partition setting.
Manual: After power-on, operating the system in Manual (attended) mode means that an operator uses the control panel to direct the system for special needs. For security reasons, it is not recommended that you set the keylock position to Manual.
Normal: After the power-on, operating the system in Normal (unattended) mode requires no operator intervention during the restart.
For IBMi logical partitions
IPL type: Displays the IPL type of the partition. Possible values are:
Do not Override: Uses the current partition setting.
IPL type A: Use IPL type A when directed for special work, such as diagnostic work.
IPL type B: Use IPL type B for routine work.
IPL type C: This type of IPL is reserved for hardware service representatives.
IPL type D: Use IPL type D when directed for special work, such as installing and reloading programs. IPL type D loads the system programs from an alternate IPL load source, such as a tape drive or CD-ROM.
For AIX or Linux logical partitions:
Boot mode: Displays the boot mode of this partition. Possible values are:
Do Not Override: Uses the setting in the profile user selected here.
Normal: The logical partition starts up as normal. (This is the mode that you use to perform most everyday tasks.)
SMS: The logical partition boots to the System Management Services (SMS) menu.
Diagnostic with default boot list: The logical partition boots using the default boot list that is stored in the system firmware. This mode is normally used to boot customer diagnostics from the CD-ROM drive. Use this boot mode to run standalone diagnostics.
Diagnostic with stored boot list: The logical partition performs a service mode boot using the service mode boot list saved in NVRAM. Use this boot mode to run online diagnostics.
Open Firmware OK prompt: The logical partition boots to the open firmware prompt. This option is used by service personnel to obtain additional debug information.
