Re: IMPL of P0 partition

Vern is right. IPL P0 on a non POWER5 system and all partitions go down, if you didn't shut them down first, they go down badly..

You CAN take P0 to restricted condition without the other partitions being affected but you cannot IPL.

I have PTFs pending an IMPL on my P0 partition (no HMC). Can I IMPL
this primary partition and get the PTFs to apply without taking down the
other 6 active partitions? Scheduling a time when all the partitions
can be stopped is very difficult. Model 870, P0 at v5r3.

It has been a long while since I went to Rochester Mn. and got trained
on LPAR. If I remember right I can take P0 down to a restricted state
without interrupting the other partitions.
