if required, the system is restarted by resetting the service processor. if the system is powered up, resetting the service processor will cause the system to shut down. when the service processor is reset, it goes through its power-up sequence, including self-tests. successful completion of the reset sequence is indicated by ok on the hmc display.

    before resetting the service processor, if the managed system is powered up and running, shut down all partitions, or the full system partition. this action causes the system to shutdown and the system power is turned off.

    to reset the service processor when the managed system is powered off, perform either of the following:

    1 if the service processor is responding to input from the hmc, select service processor setup menu from the main menu, then select reset service processor. this can only be done by a privileged user.

    2 remove, then reapply, power using the hmc.
