It may or may not include IPL depending on how the image profile is set up. LOAD = IPL. What I am saying is this: ACTIVATE , *without* doing a prior DEACTIVATE, will pick up changes to engines, weight, storage, etc. So activate of an already active LPAR does indeed do something - at least on modern processors (I can't say what it did on a 3090J).
