I don't know if or how your IPL procedure is automated. Mine is via IEAVMXIT. When an HFS is not mounted during OMVS initialization either BPXF002I or BPXF008I is issued complete with the DSN of the HFS that was not mounted. The IPL procedure notes the exception and display a message in turquoise. After the IPL procedure completes, it displays the exceptions once more. If the operator is paying attention, one will have time to correct the error. If not, the users will let you know.
