BRMS has no issue with doing the save and restore presuming the
pre-requisite stuff already mentioned are done.
That said (And I am a BRMS guy) given the original reason for the
save/restore I would not use BRMS to do it. BRMS would just add too much
overhead to the process and slow it down sufficiently that you'd notice it.
A server cutover like mentioned I'd do a 21 save/restore.
BTW: DO NOT forget the RSTAUT even on the hosting partition. It'll bite
bad in about a week if you forget.

Subject: 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?
