"Do both LPARs need to be down (not desirable) before IPLing either of them with the new CF and XCF?"
I would try to test the real situation as much as possible. Besides, I think it will not work. LPAR's don't join each other, they join a Sysplex. After ipling one system with the new definitions, it runs from different Couple datasets and is a Sysplex of its own, but with XCF connections to the other LPAR that runs from the old Couple Datasets, so in the old Sysplex. This seems asking for unexpected problems.
