Firewall Getting Corrupted -- MIDRANGE-L

In case anyone is doing what I was doing .......

You must End Network Server Application *FIREWALL and then vary it off
BEFORE doing a power down.  If you don't, you risk getting your firewall
corrupted.

Our firewall was down 6.5 hours today.  I had to restore from tape
(Restoring the Firewall, SG24-2162 Red Book, ch. 11.3) to get it up.
And by the way, step 11.3.4 didn't work and I had to manually Add Link.

IBM is apparently changing the power down system command to take care of
this for you in V4R4  _IF_  you do a controlled power down.
