ABSTRACT:
A computer system with reboot capability includes a processing mechanism, the processing mechanism supporting an operating system. The system further includes a service processor coupled to the processing mechanism, the service processor determining whether a reboot operation is needed. In addition, the computer system includes a memory mechanism coupled to the processing mechanism and the service processor, the memory mechanism storing a plurality of platform policy parameters and an automatic restart policy of the operating system to support the reboot operation of the service processor.
