Re: Remote power up of System i 520

[Jeff Crosby <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Whenever I do an IPL for PTF purposes, the RCP disappears for a time.

I found a system value, QRMTIPL, that, if set to 1, means a phone call to
the ECS modem will start the system.  That gives me the shivers.  Mine is
set to 0.
