The only problem we have had since automating most everything is with the operators selecting the wrong system on the HMC. <snip> A sign seen over the desk of a former co-worker at CA (some years ago): The reason we don't have fool proof systems is because fools are so ingenious. ---- I doubt you can even set up a script to prevent this. I say that because someone who posts to this list (who shall remain nameless to protect the guilty) managed to kill an LPAR after double checking that they had the correct LPAR. Good thing it was the TEST LPAR (which of course had some production type thing being done on it). Even sysprogs, with a good night sleep, non-critical time, and second cuppa joe in hand can (and do) hit the wrong button.
