I guess I am missing something. Unless the CF's are being recycled, there are no structures to be (re)built. And even so, all lpars should be using the same policy, not even sure NOT using the same policy is an option.
From a pure technical perspective, order should not matter, assuming you have your parmlib setup to allow any system to initialize the plex if all systems are down. Now the other points that were brought up regarding communications lpars coming up before database or application serving lpars is something to consider. But even then, you are parallel sysplex, so the assumption in my mind is that you are not in a single CEC environment, so you wouldn’t be getting a sysplex restart to begin with. _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Engineering [email protected] 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB2H p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.2717 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Peter Ten Eyck Sent: Friday, December 05, 2014 9:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: LPAR IPL order within a Sysplex Thanks for the feedback. That Redbook I mentioned was able to answer most of my questions. We will be enforcing an IPL order for our Sysplex, in particular the first LPAR that is brought up. This will be done to ensure the structures built in the coupling facility will always be built by a particular LPAR. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
