I know that the characterization of a CP as a "general purpose" or IFL or CFL or zAAP or zIIP is simply a matter of which microcode is loaded into it. Is is possible to non disruptively add a zAAP or zIIP to a z9BC? I.e. does the machine need to be down or a POR done? What about the LPAR that I want to use it on? Does that require a DEACTIVATE followed by a change to the LPAR defination followed by an ACTIVATE (yes, most likely a stupid question).
Related: what about a totally new crypto card? Does it require a hardware outage or it is hot installable? If it is hot installable, can I then just start using it, or does the LPAR defination need to be messed with? Sorry for the stupid questions, and thanks for any answers. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
