Well, this is sort of what I am looking for... "A signal can be sent in response to a hardware event, such as a deactivation of the z/VM image..."
I have all of the signals etc. set for the guest OSs but when someone pulled the plug (deactivated) on the HMC to stop my LPAR z/VM ended immediatly... OK so maybe this is a hardware question 'how to delay LPAR activation while z/VM shuts down?'.
