Just so's you know: That's the same for all OSAs, ICC or otherwise. But your statement about the vary off on the HMC not working doesn't jive with what I've been told and have experienced. If you vary the chpid off to all LPARs (whether via HMC or commands in each LPAR), the OSA should reset. My experience has also been that the reset doesn't occur until you VARY it online to the first LPAR. THEN it reboots, presumably to allow stand-alone card diagnostics.
