We'd add a requirement that the REIPL option itself be separately
RACF-protected, e.g. via a unique FACILITY (or FACILITY-like) profile, with
a default action of "not authorized" on SAF/RACF RC=4. We'd also recommend
that the REIPL option be "restrictable" by console type and address (e.g., a
config option (in CONSOLxx?) REIPL(YES|NO) to allow limiting entry of the
REIPL option to (a) specific console(s)), and a means in SDSF (or
equivalent) to allow / deny entry of the REIPL option from a console
session, again with a default of "deny".
And as long as you're thinking about this, please consider the "automatic"
SADUMP -> REIPL sequence mentioned by Jim Mulder in another post in this
thread.
