We do not use image profiles to IPL, just to setup the LPARs, we strictly use LOAD profiles to IPL. The LOAD profile has an IPL Address and an IPL Parm as I expect it should. But when this Profile is actually ACTIVATED, it comes back flagging a Load address of 0000, but it does show the valid IPL Parm. Double clicking on the LPAR does show the LOAD profile I expect to be ACTIVATED. I have passed this problem on to IBM and they are chewing on the HMC logs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
