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

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

Re: IODF Dynamic Activation Reversion
