Do you add this to the file /boot/zipl/parmfile and the run the zipl command and reboot. -Cameron Seader

For cleanliness, it's also good to include "vmpoff=LOGOFF" into the kernel parmline so that when the guest finishes shutting down and does a "halt -p" (a "power-off" halt), the kernel will do a "CP LOGOFF". This logs the guest off; CP then knows that the guest has finished its signal shutdown processing cleanly and will log a nice message to say so. [The vmpoff assumes that your distribution uses a "halt -p" in its shutdown scripts, as SLES does. If your distribution ends up doing a "halt" without the -p then the relevant parmline addition would be "vmhalt=LOGOFF". I usually add both...belt and braces.] --Malcolm -- Malcolm Beattie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux Technical Consultant IBM EMEA Enterprise Server Group... ...from home, speaking only for myself ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
