Autostart of an LPAR should not result in any problems as long as every resource the LPAR needs is available at boottime. As long as you use dedicated disk and adapter devices from your p4/p5whatever this should almost never be a problem. However, I have seen this being a problem with VIO and SAN disk devices that where not accessible in time. I.e. make sure that you set up your environment in a way that there are no potential obstacles in the LPAR's boot process.

hi, i'm a newbie in UNIX. i have a disk crash and re-install the unix. But the new installation does not boot the server automatically. Then i set the auto-boot to true, and it's ok. But now the system is booting in text mode.

CISS(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual CISS(4)
NAME
ciss -- Common Interface for SCSI-3 Support driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device scbus
device ciss
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
ciss_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The ciss driver claims to provide a common interface between generic SCSI transports and intelligent host adapters.
The ciss driver supports CISS as defined in the document entitled CISS Command Interface for SCSI-3 Support Open Specification, Version 1.04,
Valence Number 1, dated 2000/11/27, produced by Compaq Computer Corporation.
We provide a shim layer between the ciss interface and CAM(4), offloading most of the queueing and being-a-disk chores onto CAM. Entry to
the driver is via the PCI bus attachment ciss_probe(), ciss_attach(), etc. and via the CAM interface ciss_cam_action(), and ciss_cam_poll().
The Compaq ciss adapters require faked responses to get reasonable behavior out of them. In addition, the ciss command set is by no means
adequate to support the functionality of a RAID controller, and thus the supported Compaq adapters utilize portions of the control protocol
from earlier Compaq adapter families.
Currently ciss only supports the ``simple'' transport layer over PCI. This interface (ab)uses the I2O register set (specifically the post
queues) to exchange commands with the adapter. Other interfaces are available, but we are not supposed to know about them, and it is dubious
whether they would provide major performance improvements except under extreme load.
Non-disk devices (such as internal DATs and devices attached to the external SCSI bus) are supported as normal CAM devices provided that they
are exported by the controller firmware and are not marked as being masked. Masked devices can be exposed by setting the
hw.ciss.expose_hidden_physical tunable to non-zero at boot time. Direct Access devices (such as disk drives) are only exposed as pass(4)
devices. Hot-insertion and removal of devices is supported but a bus rescan might be necessary.
The problem which adapter freezes with the message ``ADAPTER HEARTBEAT FAILED'' might be solved by updating the firmware and/or setting the
hw.ciss.nop_message_heartbeat tunable to non-zero at boot time.

Controllers supported by the ciss driver include:
