RE: IMPL of P0 partition

Are you moving the P0 to the new box? If P0 was just used as the
controlling partition, you don't need to apply the PTFs before the move
so no IPL.
If the P0 partition was used in another capacity, you will need to apply
the PTFs and bring down all the secondary partitions first.

Uh, oh:

We are consolidating our production RPG etc., Domino servers, phone
system
(moving to VoIP), and many WinTel servers (moving to blades) onto one
i520
rackmounted. The "primary down, all down" scenario is not at all
encouraging. Do I understand this correctly? Real world, what is the
risk?

Thanks, that's where I was too. Just wanted to run it by someone else
to confirm.

We are having other issues with LPAR that we didn't see when we 1st
bought into it. This is a large system and coming off lease. Our
migration plans are to move each partition to new boxes as we can.

Our

use of virtual Ethernet is not going to like this.

I'll take a quick shot at this - IMPL is not the same as restricted
state - IMPL means dead - so there is nothing to manage the secondary
partitions - when you IPL the main partition, all others must come

down,

too.

Sorry for the bad news!

I have PTFs pending an IMPL on my P0 partition (no HMC). Can I IMPL
this primary partition and get the PTFs to apply without taking down

the other 6 active partitions? Scheduling a time when all the
partitions can be stopped is very difficult. Model 870, P0 at v5r3.

It has been a long while since I went to Rochester Mn. and got

trained

on LPAR. If I remember right I can take P0 down to a restricted

state

without interrupting the other partitions.
