I copy the production IODF(s) to the outside system(s). There is a hardware token in the HSA that must match the token in the IODF. The OP received a message stating the token does not match. This is a result of the installation creating a separate IODF for usage with certain LPARs.
You should have one IODF that contains each processor in your installation. Through the Operating System configuration you can ensure devices are online/offline to certain configurations. Also you can configure CHPIDs to be accessible to certain LPARs only. In this manner you can separated Control Units and Devices by having those resources accessible only through the isolated CHPIDs. The copying of the production IODF can be accomplished through several methods.
