For those present in Seattle for the very successful Session 2007: Ask the Experts & MVS Program Closing, there was some disagreement about whether V XCF,sys,OFF,REIPL would honor the AUTOIPL MVS settings in DIAGxx or always re-IPL with the last settings used.

Empirical evidence being the best kind, I ran the following experiment.

I looked in my DIAGxx member and found this:

AutoIpl SaDmp(8211,SNSYSC ) Mvs(LAST)

Issuing D DIAG from the console, I saw this:

AUTOIPL SADMP(8211,SNSYSC  ) MVS(8110,8100B2  )

I changed, my DIAGxx member to:

AutoIpl SaDmp(8211,SNSYSC ) Mvs(8111,8100B2  )

then issued the following command to dynamically effect the change:

T DIAG=xx

and proved it was there by issuing:

D DIAG

which returned (among other things):

AUTOIPL SADMP(8211,SNSYSC  ) MVS(8111,8100B2  )

I then issued:

V XCF,sys,OFF,REIPL

and the re-IPL failed. (I guess 8111 is not an IPLable volume). The error was:

Central processor (CP) 0 in partition MVSA0, entered disabled wait state.
The disabled wait program status word (PSW) is 000a00000000000f.
Central storage bytes 0-7 are: 000a00000000000f.

So there you have it. V XCF,sys,OFF,REIPL *does* use the AUTOIPL DIAGxx settings!
