Thanks, Joel. Yeah, I've taken additional precautions to help prevent
accidental outages.
One thing I'm not sure of -- Does deactivating a CPC actually turn the
processor off? Is there any way to recover or do we have to call IBM
to do a system restart?
Yup, actually turns the processor power off, but at least in a
controlled fashion with low-stress to the hardware. As others have
mentioned, you should also have to respond to a "disruptive action"
warning before it will proceed. Any active LPARs and the Operating
Systems within are terminated with "extreme prejudice", so you might
have running applications that will need some hand-holding to restart.
The HMC is still on, so to recover just re-ACTIVATE the CPC and then sit
back and wait for 5 - 15 minutes for power-up sequencing,
power-on-reset, LPAR initiation, etc. Then re-IPL, do any application
recovery actions that might be required as a result of the abnormal
shutdown, and restart interrupted online systems and batch jobs.
