RE: 250 failure

["Haase, Justin C." <justin.haase@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the land of LPAR it happens all the time.  It is possible and
practiced quite often.  All you need is a bus with a CD or tape capable
of mapping to the partition if you ever need to do a D-side IPL.  And
with virtual optical for OS upgrades, you don't really even need it ever
again once you have the OS installed for the first time.

I have never seen a system without both and I suspect the "maps" for a
"cold" IPL require "seeing" a semi-working version there for the ipl to
complete.

I assume you have seen a system IPL without both ???
