Thanks Gary that is excellent information. We are actually a test lab and we are trying to IPL 15 LPARs at one shot. At this point we have not be able to get them all up in a sysplex environment. I am trying to figure the best way to tune the sysplex to make that happen.

They used to either wait state, or go out to "la la land" and never report back, load an OS, or wait state (green on HMC, "operating", but no OS ever shows up). Images/LPARs that are IPLd too close together appear to be fighting over access to the CFs to check in to the PLEX, and from what I've seen the CFs only seem to be able to check in one system at a time in a very serial manner. Wait until the LPAR joining the plex is responding to a routed D A,L command and has at least one task started before performing the load/activate on the next LPAR. (alternately, wait 2-3 minutes between activations, that seems to work as well) Hope this helps, Gary Diehl MVS Support "The glass is neither half full or half empty; the engineer who designed the glass simply allowed for a 100% increase in fluid storage." -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Burgess Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2007 6:51 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: CNZ9003I Message We see these messages on some of our LPARs during IPL: CNZ9003I IPL DELAYED DUE TO A CONSOLE MESSAGES MIGRATION IN PROGRESS OR ANOTHER SYSTEM IPLING.
