I'm at a lost about several things that you mention (other apparently understood), maybe you could clarify? <snip> drains the lpar, goes to the HMC (hardware management console) , finds the ?activate? colophon for that lpar, selects it </snip>
I don't understand how "activate" would work unless part of "drain" means to deactivate the LPAR. Why not "reset clear" and IPL? <snip> responds to the various prompts ?.. and nothing happens. </snip> are these the HMC prompts or MVS'? I assume that they're HMC's but so you get the HMC IPL successful message? And does the HMC stay green? <snip> Before the regular ipl data stream will appear on the System Operator Console, he/she has to do a ?reset clear? 3 or 4 times, and then another ?activate? </snip> What kind of "data stream" and is this on the HMC console or an MVS console? "Reset clear" on the console of HMC's "resest clear" Jack Kelly 202-502-2390 (Office) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
