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.

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.
