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.
Thanks,

Chris,
If you're actually getting these, it's an improvement over what used to
happen when you IPL'd systems too closely together chronologically.
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

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. TIME DELAYED SO FAR:
Is there any way to get around this?
