I you look a little further into the process, there is a later reply "reply down when system has been reset" (or something similar). IF the LPAR that issued the VARY XCF, is in fact the one that has been reset, you would have to find another console to actually reply 'DOWN" from.
Other than that, I do not believe it will make any difference in the end. HTH, <snip> Our IPL procedure says to issue v xcf offline from a active in the same plex. Its like dt01 is being ipled but v xcf, offline sys=dt01 from a active lpar dt02. This is being done on CF bases plex.Is there any specific reason for issuing v xcf offline from a active system ? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
