You can restart Linux® logical
partitions or the Linux operating
system using the Hardware Management Console (HMC). Restarting a logical
partition shuts the logical partition down and then starts it again.
To restart a Linux logical
partition, complete the following steps from the HMC:
- In the navigation pane, expand .
- Click the managed system on which the
logical partition is located.
- In the work pane, select
the logical partition.
- From the Tasks menu,

the Linux shutdown

The HMC issues
the Linux shutdown
-r now command to shut down and restart the logical partition

The logical partition is restarted as
quickly as possible, without notifying the logical partition. |
Dump |
The HMC allows
the Linux operating
system on the Linux logical
partition to run a diagnostic procedure. After the diagnostic procedure
is complete, the logical partition restarts. The exact diagnostic
procedure depends upon which Linux operating system
is installed on the logical partition and how the operating system
is set to do. The operating system might run an OS debugger, the operating
system might perform a main storage or system memory dump on the logical
partition, or the operating system might not be set to run any diagnostic
procedure at all.
