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"
