Re: Saving a hosted LPAR to save all.

Well I haven't restored a partition using this procedure recently. Well unless recently includes THIS MORNING. I have done this LITERALLY more than FOURTY Times in the last two weeks alone, 20 of which were yesterday and today.

I do not know what they are talking about. YES You need to be careful and you have listed all the issues right there. Powered Down, Vary off the NWSD, CHGATR all that.

I'm not a BRMS guy but don't know whey BRMS couldn't do that.

I moved 8 partitions at once with SAV .... '/qfpnwsstg/*' and restored them with RST yadda yadda.

Only issue I had bringing them up was some maroon had the hosting LPAR vscsi slot entered incorrectly on two partitions. Not sure who that clown was.

What is the reasoning they are giving you?????

Normally I would save all LPARs. This allows me to do granular restores.
However this time I would like to save time and just save the host for data center move. I figure I would have to
- ensure that all guests were powered off
- run the CHGATR to ensure that QFPNNWSSTG allowed the save
- ensure the BRMS control group saved it.

Just to double check i opened a SR with IBM.
I was told no. I had to reassure them I cared not a whit, just this once, that I wouldn't be able to do a granular restore. Still they said no.
Just to be sure they weren't stuck in the granular frame of mind I asked then for documentation on this. They say they will look for this.

What say ye?
