sys_autorestart

ALOM has a "watchdog" function that monitors the host server and detects when the host encounters a hang condition or stops running. Use this variable to specify the action ALOM should take when the watchdog function times out while waiting for a response from the host. Note that when the watchdog function discovers a hang condition, the ALOM event log registers an event.

sys_autorestart has three options:

• none -- Do nothing except log the event to the ALOM event log.
• xir -- Perform an XIR (externally initiated reset). The timeout value for the XIR is set by the sys_xirtimeout variable (default timeout value is 900 seconds, or 15 minutes).
• reset -- Perform a server reset, booting to the Solaris operating environment.

The default value is xir.

Note: For the xir and reset options, an event is logged to the ALOM event log in addition to a log entry describing the action.

From the ALOM command shell:

• To specify a value (or values) for this variable, use the setupsc command.
• To view the current value, use the showsc command.
• To change the value(s), use the setsc command.

Using the scadm utility:

• To view the current value for this variable, use the show command.
• To change the value, use the set command.
