Re: Power7/HMC: How to automatically start/stop VIOS with the hardware

You'll want to look for automation helpers, like Ansible, there are a lot
of playbooks for Power Systems that can handle all of these, or you can
roll your own. The most complicated part would be monitoring the IBM i LPAR
until it is 100% down (checking the LPAR status on the HMC) and only then
shutting down the VIOSes/Machine

Hello,

I struggle to find the correct chants for Google to tell me where to find
how to configure this:

When I turn on a Power7 machine with a VIOS LPAR via HMC (8.7.0), or power
button, I want the VIOS LPAR to be automatically started with the system.

When I instruct HMC to power down the system, it should automatically shut
down all secondary LPARs, then VIOS and then the hardware.

Is this even possible? If yes, pointers to specific documentation are well
appreciated!

Thanks!
