Does it need to be done? When we IPL, we just bring everything down as noted 
and then do the load. The LPAR gets removed and reconnected to the plex and all 
seems to work well.

We've never done the V XCF command.

I cannot really think of a specific reason why it SHOULD be done on another 
member in the sysplex.
Assuming that you have brought the system down in a clean way (stopped all 
subsystems, etc..), It sounds like a trouble  to get on a local terminal or HMC 
to issue the V XCF, OFFLINE to vary itself down.
Issueing V XCF, OFFLINE results in message IXC371D anyway. Much easier to just 
issue the command on another system of that sysplex and replying at IXC371D to 
vary the system out of the sysplex.

Again, I personally can not come up with a reason why this is done normally.

Met vriendelijke groet,
