Re: completely shut down multiple lpars and hmc -- MIDRANGE-L

Just to be certain you will use PWRDWNSYS to power down the partitions right? Just doing so via the HMC 5250 Console.

Depending on how long they sit in restricted state first pwrdwnsys can still take some time so watch the hMC for SRC codes until the partitions show they are down.

Once all down then power off the server via the HMC. Finally the HMC.

Older HMC - assume its what IBM labelled "classic"?

Has not been completely down for several years.

Full system backup is recent.

Was going to put system into restricted state first, we know about the time
for disk cache to clear,

and the time to unmount the opticals.

Then HMC to power off partitions, and then HMC.

Found this, but all the docs referring to P8 or 9..

Are we missing anything?

(this was once well documented but someone cleaned up..
