Verifying that the server supports partitions that are capable of remote restart

Before planning to enable the remote restart capability of a logical partition, verify that the server supports partitions that are capable of remote restart by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC).

1. In the navigation pane, open Systems Management and select Servers.
2. Select the server in the work pane.
3. From the Tasks menu, select Properties.
4. Click the Capabilities tab.
   • If PowerVM Partition Remote Restart Capable is True, the server supports remote restart.
   • If PowerVM Partition Remote Restart Capable is False, the server does not support remote restart.

   The HMC Classic interface is not supported in Hardware Management Console (HMC) Version 8.7.0, or later. The functions that were previously available in the HMC Classic interface are now available in the HMC Enhanced+ interface.

   When the HMC is at version 8.7.0, or later, complete the following steps to verify that the server supports partitions that are capable of remote restart:

   1. In the navigation pane, click the Resources icon .
   2. Click All Systems. The All Systems page is displayed.
   3. In the work pane, select the system and click Actions > View System Properties. The Properties page is displayed.
   4. Click Licensed Capabilities. The Licensed Capabilities page lists the features that are supported by the server.
   5. In the Licensed Capabilities page, verify the list of features displayed.
      • If PowerVM Partition Remote Restart Capable is marked by the icon, the server supports remote restart.
      • If PowerVM Partition Remote Restart Capable is marked by the icon, the server does not support remote restart.
5. Click OK.
