Use it, love it.   Long time coming...   VM has had a reipl option "forever".

At first I tested without the SADMP option, but since the codes in the WSAT
that say to take an SADMP are minimal (and ones you would always want
a SADUMP for IMHO), and  my client has something like 15 3390-9 volumes
being written in parallel for an SADUMP (which means the dump doesn't take
all that long), I turned  on the SADUMP option long time ago after initial 
testing.

Occasionally we IPL from the same sysres address (not implementing 
OS maintenance) or on rare occasion we IPL to recover from a problem, so
I also had the automation team  implement a "REIPL" parm to their 
shutdown command.   So no one has to even go to the HMC for those 
type of IPLs now.   My DIAGxx parm looks like this:


AUTOIPL SADMP(cuua,SMSYSC) MVS(LAST)
