Set Platform Events
Use this window to set the shutdown action, if any, to be taken for a specific platform event. Also use this window to enable or disable alert generation.
NOTE: This help page may include information about features not supported by your system. Server Administrator only displays the features that are supported on your system.
Action
Select the action to take if the system is to be shut down in response to a platform event listed in the Platform Events window.
NOTE: Actions cannot be set for Automatic System Recovery and Hardware log is full or emptied platform events. Automatic System Recovery (ASR), for example, does not permit any action because actions are already part of the event definition for ASR.
None Takes no action when the platform event occurs.
Reboot System Shuts down the operating system and initiates system startup, performing BIOS checks and reloading the operating system.
Power Cycle System Turns the electrical power to the system off, pauses, turns the power on, and reboots the system. Power cycling is useful when you want to reinitialize system components such as hard drives.
Power Off System Turns off the electrical power to the system.
Power Reduction Throttles the processor until the power consumption comes down and reaches below the warning threshold. After throttling, if the system power consumption stays below the warning threshold, it begins to un-throttle.
