These are screencaptures from the web-based ASMI - Advanced System Management Interface. I do not have an HMC, so I use the web interface. HMC would have a different way to change these.

Approach ASMI as the system firmware IP address as https://IP_addressOrHostname and login.

Now you should see - on the left - an area titled "Power/Restart Control".
The panel entitled "Power On/Off System" has a selection entitled "System firmware start policy". This is (mainly) for a normal startup.

The choice you want to look at is in the left menu as: "Auto Power Restart". Make sure this is enabled.

HOWEVER, if you system is managed by an HMC all partitions get started, more or less in parallel - so the ones that are dependent on a VIOS may not start as expected. When you do not have an HMC - the VIOS - as IVM (integrated Virtualization Manager) has that role and will start client partitions AFTER it has started itself - and so the system returns as much as possible (depending mainly on the integrity/availability of external storage).

Short advice: get on the ASMI web interface and make you adjustments. Or use the HMC to do the same.

Hope this helps!

That helps yes, but is ASMI web interface a IBM tool or Third party free source? how can i get this? can i get this even if i have HMC? stupid question but how can I bring this up to my manager...?

might all be easy questions to answer but i just want to not look stupid when bringing it up to my manager.

Thanks again

NAME

       powerd - power manager daemon

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/power/powerd [-n]

DESCRIPTION

       The powerd daemon is started by pmconfig(1M) to monitor system activity and perform an automatic shutdown using the suspend-resume feature.
       When the system is suspended, complete current state is saved on the disk before power is removed.  On  reboot,	the  system  automatically
       starts a resume operation and the system is restored to the same state it was in immediately prior to suspend.

       Immediately prior to system shutdown, the daemon notifies syslogd(1M) of the shutdown, which broadcasts a notification.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -n    No broadcast mode. The daemon silently shuts down the system without notifying syslogd(1M).

FILES

       /etc/power.conf	  Power Management configuration information file
