We are wondering if we can ipl (activate) a lpar on the hmc
automatically without any operator intervention. Anyone have a product
or written an API?
We would like to activate our test lpar (monoplex) at 7am so when we get
in at 8am, the system is up. We can't leave it up overnight because we
need the cpu to do heavy production processing.
-----------------------------------<unsnip>------------------------------
Why not just leave it up? An idle z/OS image only consumes a small
percentage of the CPU. If you're that close in getting your night
production finished on time, perhaps an upgrade is on the horizon. How
efficient are the programs used in that night production? How old are
they? Ditto for the JCL. At Clearing, we moved two statements in a COBOL
program and cut the run time from over 4 hours to under 20 minutes.
