Re: BCPII services
To the main question, would there be a problem with starting BCPii at any time, I would say no problem. In our early experience with sysplex, we restarted BCPii any number of times before we got it right. If the task is missing something it needs, it will tell you so. You will need some HMC updates, also dynamic. The best feature of BCPii is AUTOIPL. While running z/OS 1.12, we had one development system that mysteriously IPLed itself. Turns out it was running clean out of real storage, usually in the middle of the night when no one was logged on, so no one complained. AUTOIPL detected the wait state and IPLed the failing LPAR. I don't think it's ever happened in production, but it satisfies *long* standing advice to reIPL a dead system ASAP. . .

Re: BCPII services
I think the issue has more to do with the security permissions on the lpar image profile.

Re: BCPII services
We have HWIBCPII running on our KSYS, but as far as I know, nothing exploits it. The intent *was *to have homegrown automation make use of it, but at the time (and it may still be the case), most of the functionality was "read-only", meaning requesting a LOAD or SYSRESET wasn't possible. We leverage ProcOps using SNMP to automate IPL/SAD/etc., so HWIBCPII basically sits idle now.
