Reboot is the process of bringing up the system hardware; for example, from a
system reset or power on.

Restart is activating the operating system after the

system hardware is reinitialized. Restart must follow a successful reboot.

Number of reboot attempts - If the server fails to successfully complete the

boot process, it attempts to reboot the number of times specified. Entry
values equal to or greater than 0 are valid. Only successive failed
reboot/restart attempts count.

Use OS-Defined restart policy - Allows the service processor to react or not

react in the same way as the operating system to major system faults by
reading the setting of the operating system parameter Automatically
Restart/Reboot After a System Crash
. This parameter may or may not be
defined, depending on the operating system or its version/level. If the
operating system automatic restart setting is defined, then it can be set to
respond to a major fault by restarting or by not restarting. See your operating
system documentation for details on setting up operating system automatic
restarts. The default value is YES.
