I think the real key is making sure that the target system is in the wait-state before doing the system-reset or replying "down"...

Removing a z/OS system from a Sysplex -- http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/pso/removing.html#ton2 Complete the removal of the z/OS system manually: Shortly after replying to message IXC371D in step 3, message IXC102A will be displayed. DO NOT REPLY "DOWN" TO IXC102A YET. Wait for the z/OS system to enter a non-restartable WAIT state. The z/OS system should enter a non-restartable WAIT state any time before or soon after the CLEANUP interval expires. Perform a hardware SYSTEM RESET on the z/OS system being removed from the sysplex if not already done. Reply "DOWN" to IXC102A. Message IXC105I will be issued when system removal is complete. Are WE saying this isn't correct? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
