I believe that I may have found the option I need. In the service element, under the service userid, I see an option to concurrently add or remove hardware. I do not see an option under install or uninstall for any of the cards in question, which leads me to believe that just inserting them while the machine was powered down was not the correct way to add them. Tomorrow morning, I am going to deactivate/power down the CPC cluster and IO drawer, remove the card, restart the system, and then follow the prompts for hardware installation. Before I proceed with this, has anyone done anything similar, or recognize any of the steps in the process?

It has always been IBM doing it. I have looked over the shoulder of the IBM person and from what I recall there are several different steps that must complete properly (and in the proper order) to install new hardware. It sure sounds like something did not properly complete during the install process. Just a wild guess on my part.

It PORes without issues, and I have booted the new partitions. If it helps, I can post the IOCDS and screenshots of my HMC. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Carmen Vitullo Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2022 3:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Added PCIe IO cards stuck in Reserved state you said "I have verified that this is not an IOCDS issue by booting the debug IOCDS that is shipped with the machine by default" I've not been following and I don't know your configuration but did you ever POR with your updated IOCDS?
