Just a heads up. We have a host lpar guesting a couple of LPARs.
Both guests are active but both are in a restricted state; either
running their save or a RCLSTG.
Brought host into restricted state. Guests keep chugging along.
However I've not varied off the NWSDs associated with those guests.

The negative ramifications are that it will increase downtime. We
were hoping to be able to start the reclaims and saves on the host
while the guests were still saving. <<SNIP>>
Do the *DIR and *DBXREF portions\variants allow running the command
without the *NWSD objects varied off? As I recall, the *DBXREF does.
If so, then perhaps doing the work on the host in two stages can enable
decreasing the downtime; i.e. effectively:
rclstg select(*dbxref *dir) /* maybe only one is allowed per rqs? */
rclstg select(*all) omit(*dbxref *dir)) /* this awaits varyoff.? */
