No. In order for it NOT to appear, 1. You must have a parallel sysplex with at least one CF. 2. You must have an SFM policy active. Then all but the last system can be system-reset automagically through the CF (initiated by SFM, and you don't see it). The last system in the sysplex has to be system-reset manually, as there is no one else around in the sysplex to do it. But then you wouldn't see that message, either. As the message states, you may see IXC102A when both 1 and 2 above are fulfilled. The only time I ever saw it I followed up on it and it turned out that there was a bug somewhere in coexistence code between releases, and I should not have seen the message at all. >I have been told that some installations never see it, and I suspect it >it would not be replied to by automation without somehow managing to >cause a system reset to occur on the member being removed. Well, if you reply to it via automation and that automation is not capable of actually system-resetting the lpar before replying, then you may be in deep do-do, and it's all your fault. :-) Regards, Barbara Nitz -- GMX startet ShortView.de.
