Performing routine configuration tasks from the SE can be problematic.
Mmmmm - since when has yanking channels out from operating LPARs been
"routine".
The so-called "yanking" of channels is not routine. But, configuring
them on/offline is. We do it _at least_ twice a day -- sometimes more
often. And remember, it was not I that suggested the hardware function
be used instead of the MVS CONFIG command -- it was the z/OS MVS System
Commands book! All of the hardware books advise against doing this as
does the APAR referenced by Roy Hewitt (OA17152). It states:
"The Hardware Management Console (HMC) can be used to
configure a CHPID online or offline. IBM does not recommand
this practice when the operating system is available, as it
physically configures the CHPID online or offline but does
not notify the hosts of this change."
The words I use to describe the recommendation in z/OS MVS System
Commands are not for use in polite company. An RCF may not be strong
enough. Perhaps a doc APAR is in order...
