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
hpsmh - starts or stops the HP System Management Homepage server
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The HP System Management Homepage is the management server for web-based System Administration tools. In order to use HPSMH, start a web
browser on your desktop or workstation, and type in the URL or Address of the server to be managed:
By default, the HP SMH management server under HP-UX only starts on demand. It does not run continually. A daemon listens on port 2301 to
start an instance of the management server. The above URL automatically starts the management server, then redirects your browser to the
secure port from which to login:
The command starts or stops the HPSMH server. If no options are specified, displays the possible options.
Options
The command supports the followings options:
Starts the HPSMH Server if is not currently running
Stops the HPSMH Server
Access Control
By default, only the root user can login to HPSMH. Within HPSMH you can configure additional user groups to have HPSMH access.
You must be a superuser to run the command.
Certificates
Installing HPSMH will generate an SSL self signed certificate. Because this certificate is self signed, when connecting to HPSMH your web
browser will prompt you with a warning that the certificate was issued by a web site, company or Certificate Authority you have not chosen
to trust.
It is possible to proceed by accepting this self signed certificate temporarily for each session. You can also view and install (accept
permanently) this certificate to avoid this warning in the future. HPSMH also supports installation of certificates created by a Certifi-
cate Authority.
RETURN VALUES
The command returns:
upon successful completion
if the command failed
EXAMPLES
Starts HPSMH Server:
Stops HPSMH Server:
