Re: VryCfg IXS Cards

You are thinking clearly! Having those come up and down when you don't want them is a simple waste of time.

A couple things I would look at. First as mentioned by Roberto is CHGIPLA. If you set the very last parameter to *YES the system will only come up to a restricted condition with just the console active. Nothing else will start so that's my first choice. Remember that this parameter sticks for ONE IPL and resets automatically so if you do need multiple IPLs change it each time after you sign on until the last.

Second is to understand what it is that starts the IXS card. Most people don't understand that the start occurs when the IP interface to the card is started. This is usually an IP such as 192.168.1.2. This address will be assigned to the Ethernet line that is attached to the IXS's NWSD. If you change this IP address to AutoStart of *NO the IXS won't come up when IP starts.

I've got a pair of IXS cards in an i5; going to upgrade it to v7r1 on
Saturday, and I figure with the Cume & Group PTF's to deal with, I'm looking
at up to 3 IPL's. Shutting those things down does take some time and I've
looked at how to prevent them from starting when the system comes online.
But, I've not found a way to do it. Is there a way to do that?
