Hmmm, and you configured if offline to all of the LPARs before you brought it back on to any of them? Sounds strange indeed. I have done this a couple times, and the only problem I have had is when one or more of the LPARs is inactive, then you have to go in though the HMC to take them off.

We did CONFIG CHP(xx),OFFLINE on all LPARs that it was defined to. You got me doubting myself for a moment there though, so I just pulled back our archived SYSLOGs for that day, and they clearly show we did take the channel off and on again with no success. Anyway, I guess that's just a mystery then.
