Afterthought: If the module expects OS CALL linkage conventions,
use LINKMVS rather than LINKPGM. You can fake it, and more,

IIRC, it is strongly advised to never use the HMC single object operations
to vary a CHP when the related LPARs have operating systems running in them.
Alas, I wish that all operating systems were designed/required to gracefully

As I understand it the CF command will vary the physical CHPID offline to
all LPARs, not just logically to the z/OS LPAR. I could be wrong about

Mwah, 20 ranges in a command script is doable.
But, why don't you just CONFIG the 2 CHPIDs OFF per LPAR? z/OS will
handle this without problems.
