No, HCD doesn't populate the IPL address. In the LOAD profile on the HMC you either specify the IPL device address or check the DYNAMIC box.
Checking the DYNAMIC box uses the IPL address defined in HCD. My initial response wasn't that clear - Check the IPL device address in the LOAD profile. Is it correct? -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Adams, Tracy Sent: Wednesday, November 04, 2009 08:37 To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: I/O gen problems I use the HMC to manage my load parameters simply by selecting my lpar and going to the Operational panel and using "load". I have never used the 2.11.i screen before, does it pre-populate the load screen at the HMC? -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Field, Alan C.

I then use option 2.6.1 to activate new hardware and software configuration. Changing test to no, write IOCDS yes, and switch IOCDS for next por yes. Everything goes well and I see my new devices via the d m=dev command. I then go to bring up an inactive LPAR and I get a quick load failed message. The message generated in the hardware messages is "load address not defined to LPAR". The detail of the message instruct me to validate the address and then check the I/O config file. I check the I/O config file (IOCDS A1) and the addresses of the dasd devices are all there. What could be wrong? The other things I know... the CHPIDs are online and operational. I dynamically switched back to my A0 / IODF00 combination and I get the same error. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
