operation to a server blade, where Logical partitioning is enabled, affects all

LPARs managed by LPAR manager. Thus, the remote console is not available

for powering on or off and reset. Use the remote console only for OS

installation.

If you cannot go the shell window automatically while rebooting LPAR, select

Continue in the logical UEFI window.
