Tom, If you use an Activation Profile on the 7060, does the profile say to use the Active IOCDS or name a specific IOCDS?

We then wrote the new IOCDS to the hardware as A0 and issued the SET ACTIVE_IOCDS A0 command. I did a query at the time on the 7060's support element and saw that it was showing the new IOCDS as "active" (although at that time it hadn't been used in a power-on reset). This last weekend there was a power outage, so when they did the power-on reset, I presumed the new IOCDS would be used in the POR without any operator intervention, but it was not. I had based this on a sentence in the 4.2 Planning and Administration Guide, in the "Lock-Step Philosophy" section, item 6, which deals with the SET IOCDS_ACTIVE command: "The processor will use this active IOCDS file during the next power-on reset (POR)." I have verified that a POR did occur. Does anyone know why the 7060 wouldn't have used the new IOCDS automatically in the POR, as the manual seems to say it should have?
