The S1 serial port must be available to AIX and have a modem attached to
use the remote reboot. One could
also have a direct serial connection from another system and use an
application like cu to connect to the serial port.

Lipp,
Thanx for the info, as per your info it sounds some thing
similar to the one i have seen on True64 unix. Anyway, you said that the
serial port has to assigned to AIX, what do you mean by this, do you mean
to say that the serial port has to be configured (if that is so) where
will the other end of the serial port connected to??
May be i am not getting the point properly.
TIA
Praveen.K

Remote reboot can be useful if you are managing systems remotely. If AIX ,
is no longer responding, one could dial in and cause
the O.S. to reboot. Since the serial port runs at the highest system
interrupt, the chances that the serial driver will get scheduled is
pretty good. This function is only useful on stand alone systems that have
the serial port assigned to AIX. HMC managed systems
can reset partitions without enabling this function.

Hi,
I was going through one of the docs which said "TTY Remote reboot" but
i could not understand the purpose of this. Is this similar to the
facility
which i have seen in True64 unix, which has network port kind of
thing(sorry i am not sure with this) from where you can connect to the
system bios and handle in case of system hang etc..
Any light in this aspect...
TIA
