You have the same situation, when IBM installs microcode updates. Both HMCs are locked so you can't IPL or do any other things. Also the BCPII interface is blocked. IBM don't tell you with that many words, but by strongly pulling out the consequences of an upgrade action few years ago, we finally got that information.

Gizmo is fixed now. No impact during SE replacement, which took longer than I expected. As is often the case, CEC was in Service mode the whole time, which would have been a problem if we had needed an emergency IPL or some such. I just checked that the STP screens are available from the Workplace on HMC, that is, no SOO to SE required. However, you can manage Activation profiles from there too, and we all know that SE function is required for that. My main concern was for STP function itself. Without timing across CECs, a sysplex dies. . . .

No SE at all means your z/OS (or any other) system is still working, but no HW changes are possible, no IPL, many HW command will fail, etc. Deep sh*t. One of two SE failed means you can peform everything you want, including STP. Maybe STP setup would be impossible (I haven't checked), but I'd bet it is also possible. I've been working with single SE (primary failed) for some time. It wasn't my dream, but I could live with it. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ******************************************************** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
