Setting the options (only SU x86)

For SU x86, you manage the options using the Options tab of the BS2000 system. You can change the settings for the shutdown, the startup and the Auto IPL.

>	Select Systems -> [<se server> (SE<model>) ->] <unit> (SU<model>) , Options tab.

The Options tab displays the groups General options and BS2000 options. The tab provides the following functions:

Defining the remaining runtime for shutdown

The remaining runtime is the time which is available to BS2000 to terminate itself when the Server Unit is shut down. The remaining runtime is only of any significance when the SU x86 is shut down or restarted. BS2000 receives a shutdown request which is handled in accordance with the setting in the system parameter SHUTPROC (see the “System Administration” manual [10]). The configured remaining runtime is then available for the BS2000 shutdown. You define the remaining runtime for BS2000 in Native mode or in VM2000 mode for the monitor system. In VM2000 mode the remaining runtime defined then applies for all BS2000 guest systems (see section "Setting VM options").

If you enter the value 00:00, there is no defined remaining runtime, i.e. when the SU is powered off or restarted, the system always waits for BS2000 to shut down.
