Select this option to enable connection monitoring between the Hardware Management Console and the logical partition that is associated with this partition profile. When connection monitoring is enabled, the Service Focal Point (SFP) application periodically tests the communications channel between this logical partition and the HMC. If the channel does not work, the SFP application generates a serviceable event in the SFP log. This ensures that the communications channel can carry service requests from the logical partition to the HMC when needed.
If this option is not selected, the SFP application still collects service request information when there are issues on the managed system. This option only controls whether the SFP application automatically tests the connection and generates a serviceable event if the channel does not work.
Deselect this option if do not want the SFP application to monitor the communications channel between the HMC and the logical partition associated with this partition profile.
