Oh we had the CE request we power down one of our two stand alone CF processors. All of the appropriate structures etc. were moved, using documented procedures, from CFA to CFB.
Unfortunately at power off time CFB was selected, on the HMC, rather than CFA - this was all done by the sysprog - perhaps it would have been better left to the operators. This was circa 1997 in the early days of data sharing - DB2 was not very 'happy' and the production system was out for around five hours. Human errors do happen. James F.

I have managed to avoid doing this (to date), but we have had more than one operator activate/deactivate the wrong image by mistake. One of the times that z/OS (well, OS/390 at the time) and its associated software impressed me the most was when an operator went to activate our development LPAR and didn't notice that the icon for production was also highlighted. (There was no point in raking him out for it afterwards; he was already well aware he had done a Bad Thing.) We re-activated production, restarted DB2, CICS, Datacom, etc. and everything came up, backed out in-flight transactions, and recovered smoothly. I would never have believed it. Sometimes it is brought home to you just how well some of this stuff works.
