Re: IMPL of P0 partition

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Vern is right. IPL P0 on a non POWER5 system and all partitions go down, 
if you didn't shut them down first, they go down badly..

You CAN take P0 to restricted condition without the other partitions 
being affected but you cannot IPL.
