Hi, Due to budget constraints, my contract is being cut short (but that's another story).
I've been asked to allow others access to the HMC, so that they can IPL systems, and have set up a bunch of new userids on the HMC. As far as I can tell they have all the authority that my HMC userid has (in fact, I've given them more authority). One of the new users has logged on, and was going through the motions to IPL an LPAR (without actually IPL'ing it!). They are using the "tree" interface. They navigate to Systems, and select the (single) CEC. They get all the defined LPARS displayed, all good so far. If they select an LPAR by clicking on the radio button, expand Recovery, and click on Load, they get a "Invalid Target Object List" box pop up, which says: - "One or more of the objects to be targeted for the selected task are currently not valid for the task. Review the object list to determine which objects are not valid for the task at this time. Click "Yes" to continue the task with only the valid objects as targets. Click "No" to end the task" The Reason shown is "Service status must be enabled to perform a disruptive task." I've checked the new users, and they all have "Require password for disruptive actions" checked. There is no disruptive task lock on the system anywhere. I'm at a loss. Can anyone shed any light on what's happening here please? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
