Hello, Running z/OS 1.13. trying to "delete" four LPARs that we no longer use from our I/O gen dynamically. When I say "delete", I mean, of course, changing them back to "reserved" or "*" LPARs. I delete all the CHPID access from the four before changing them to "*".
When I go to dynamically implement the I/O gen, I get this message: _ E REASON=01A2,CANNOT DELETE PARTITION(S) FROM CHPID # CANDIDATE LIST 00 IN IN CSS 0 # DESCTEXT=CHPID IS CONFIGURED TO ONE OR MORE AFFECTED # PARTITIONS # COMPID=SC1C3 with this explanation: CHPID IS CONFIGURED TO ONE OR MORE AFFECTED PARTITIONS If the description of failure is the above, then the specified channel path is currently configured to one or more of the partitions that you requested to be conditionally deleted from the CHPID candidate list. The system returns to the original configuration definition, unless a message is issued indicating that back-out failed. Configure the channel path offline to the partition(s) that are being deleted from the CHPID candidate list. If successful, retry the activate request. Only the first occurrence of a channel path being online for this reason is detected. Review other changes to ensure that the next ACTIVATE does not fail when the next occurrence is encountered. An unconditional delete of partition(s) from CHPID candidate list, by specifying FORCE=CANDIDATE on the ACTIVATE command or activate panel, could also be considered. Refer to the ACTIVATE command documentation for a description of the ramifications of specifying an unconditional delete of partition(s) from a CHPID candidate list. I'm assuming that I would get this same message for every CHPID in sequence if this first one were to be resolved. I really don't see how this makes sense since none of the four LPARs are IPLed. What is HCD really complaining about here and is it safe to do a "FORCE=CANDIDATE" in these circumstanes? Thank you for your assistance.
