Great. Now that this has been sorted out, you should invest some time to find out what ought to be brought down before an IPL what not. Automation (if you're using automation) should know and do what is necessary, but you should be prepared for the case when something does not work as intended. There are tasks (STCs) that you better try to stop in the proper way, or you might get into troubles at next startup (e.g. DB2 which might need some long lasting recovery). On the other hand, there are some tasks which you really don't need to care about, and there are tasks which cannot be stopped at all. The list is depending on your setup and the products you use. It is also useful to have a list of tasks to start, and in what order, in case you need to perform an IPL manually. Again automation may fail to complete the startup for whatever reason. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
