I seem to remember that you can override the system parameters at IPL time and specify PLEXCFG=MONOPLEX. This should bring you up in a single system plex. Or you can specify PLEXCFG=XCFLOCAL and not be in a plex at all.

My question is, it says if you don't have a CF then change GRS=TRYJOIN or =NONE. Problem is, when the problem occurs, how do you get online to change it? I could not find an operator command to change it and since the system is able to IPL, you can't logon to change it.
