288 Logical Partitions on System i5
Figure 10-4 Powering off the system
Firmware boot side for the next boot
Select the side from which the firmware will boot: permanent or temporary. Typically,
firmware updates should be tested on the temporary side before being applied to the
permanent side. This selection is analogous to the previous OS/400 concept of starting the
system using micro-code from the “A” side (with permanent PTFs applied only) or using
micro-code from the “B” side (using both temporary and permanent PTs applied).
System operating mode
Select the system operating mode: manual or normal. Manual mode is intended to be used
when the system hardware is being serviced. When the system is in manual mode, various
automatic power-on functions such as auto-power restart and timed power-on are disabled.
This selection is analogous to the previous OS/400 concept of starting the system from the
control panel or DST/SST in manual mode or normal mode.
AIX/Linux partition mode boot
Select the boot type for an AIX/Linux partition. This option is enabled only when the system is
not HMC-managed. The choices are:
1. Continue to the operating system (the partition boots to the operating system without
stopping).
2. Boot to the SMS menu (the partition stops at the System Management Services (SMS)
menu).
3. Perform service mode boot from a saved list (the system boots from the saved service
mode boot list).
4. Perform service mode boot from a default list (the system boots from the default boot list).
5. Boot to open firmware prompt (the system stops at the open firmware prompt).
The “service mode boot from default list” option is the preferred way to run stand-alone
diagnostics from a CD-ROM drive. The “service mode boot from saved list” option is typically
a shorthand method of executing the partition's diagnostics. To make this option useful, the
partition operating system must support diagnostic boot, and diagnostics must be loaded on
the partition's disk drive.
