Re: GIM40101E PTF already applied
Gil- I have tried both ways. originally SET BOUNDARY (MVST100) .

We have a non-expiring password that we've used for years and somehow failed the other night. I reset with an alu line command but the new password doesn't work.

Dynamic Activate of New IODF
I have made changes to the EDT so need to hard activate the new IODF on my first test system. After I do this the IODF will be out of sync on my other LPARs. Can I still do a soft activate on the out of sync LPARs? (I didn't think you could when the tokens were out of sync) But I've heard of this method being used.

Re: IODF Dynamic Activation Reversion
Thanks for the responses. Of course our change process will not allow saying it's never happened before as justification for not having a reversion plan. I always do a TEST before activations I've debated HARD first or SOFT first but doing HARD first is really contrary to our change procedures- that being changes should be rolled out DEV-->QA-->PRE-PROD-->PROD so it makes more sense to me (and is somewhat required for change management) to do SOFT until the last PROD and then do a HARD activate. Sometimes I hate change management! These particular changes are two fold 1) allowing some additional LPARs to some existing OSAs 2) redefining two OSAs from OSD to OSE I had the two options to 1 - continue through until changes are activated on all LPARs (SOFT on all except one HARD on the last PROD LPAR) 2 - POR from Jesse I see a (better) 3rd option 3 - IPL back to the old IODF If I'm understanding correctly, IPL is the only way for me to revert immediately without impact to other systems.

IODF Dynamic Activation Reversion
I'm rolling out IODF changes dynamically, all SOFT and HARD on the final LPAR. Our change management rules have gotten more stringent and I need to define a reversion plan. If on say, the third LPAR something goes awry and we need to back out, are there options besides 1) POR or 2) continue on to HARD activate and then perform the process across all LPARs with the old IODF (soft on all except HARD on last) I have an old ETR that says I can back out on a SOFT activate but at that point dynamic activation is disabled.
