RE: Hosted LPAR question

Thanks guys. You got me there.

I have change the NWSD to online at IPL *NO and power control *YES. I added a SBMJOB to QSTRUP for a program that does a DLYJOB 600 and then varies on the NWSD.

Seems to be working fine.

Wait, I still have one system with guests. I look on that hosting nwsd and I noticed this:
Power control . . . . . . . . . . : *NO
So I guess if you did have the nwsd set to automatically vary on, and you had this set to *yes then it would start that lpar. I've just not done it this way since I don't remember when. With multiple NSWDs for each partition varying on one with this set to *YES before the others were varied on might be problematic. I just start the guests with the HMC manually after varying on the NWSDs.

Bryan,
Wouldn't that just leave the disks and anything else hosted out
unavailable to the guest? I do not believe that varying the nwsd
off/on has anything to do with the IPL of a guest. I accidentally
varied off a nwsd for an active guest. It did not cause the guest to
power off, it just left their disks suspended and they couldn't do a
thing. As soon as I varied it back on it was back to normal.

The last time I did partitioning without a HMC was Power 4. I did
some research and came up with this:

version box to your appropriate version.

in the past i wanted to “be in charge” of when a hosted NWSD LPAR
would go up and down.

leave the NWSD online(*no) then when the hosting lpar is running i
would vary on the NWSD.

for power off, I submitted a network job to the NWSD lpar to power off.
then power off the hosting lpar.

I have an 8202-E4D that has a hosted partition. I do not have an HMC.

When

it fails. When I go into SST, power it off (to get out of failed

and power it on, it comes up with no problem. I am guessing
something

is

not yet in the correct state for the hosted partition to start.
Maybe

the

Is there a way to prevent the system from trying to automatically

the

minutes

so

everything will be up and ready for it (assuming that is the

am

fine with using SST to manually start it if I need to. The hosted

partition

is rarely used.
