The failing IPL was the first one in our DR sysplex, so it wasn't possible to
issue the SETXCF command. We depend on the CFRMPOL statement in our DR COUPLExx
member to pull in our defined CFRM policy.
I'm assuming that once we ipled with our bad CFRM policy the sysplex couple
dataset was primed with the 'active' CFRM policy so it never looked at the
updated CFRM policy in the CFRM couple dataset. A delete/redefine of the
sysplex couple dataset resulted in the next IPL using CFRMPOL in our COUPLExx
member pulling in the corrected CFRM policy.
I'm just trying to confirm my assumption.

Mark,
It's not sufficient to define a new CFRM policy containing the
corrected CPU number. Using the IXCMIAPU utility to define a new policy or
update an existing policy only stores that policy in what you might think of
as a standby state in the CFRM CDS. In order to activate a stored policy,
you must start it with a SETXCF START,POLICY... command. Did you perhaps
omit that step?
The sysplex CDS does not contain any information about the CFRM policy
in use. What it contains is information about the CDS configuration that
was last used for all CDS types. Without a more detailed explanation of the
steps you executed in establishing your CDS configuration, I can't
immediately explain why redefining your sysplex CDS would have enabled you
to reIPL.
