Re: Hosted LPAR question

Bryan,
Wouldn't that just leave the disks and anything else hosted out unavailable
to the guest? I do not believe that varying the nwsd off/on has anything
to do with the IPL of a guest. I accidentally varied off a nwsd for an
active guest. It did not cause the guest to power off, it just left their
disks suspended and they couldn't do a thing. As soon as I varied it back
on it was back to normal.

The last time I did partitioning without a HMC was Power 4. I did some
research and came up with this:

For earlier versions of the OS check the version box to your appropriate
version.

in the past i wanted to “be in charge” of when a hosted NWSD LPAR would go
up and down.

leave the NWSD online(*no) then when the hosting lpar is running i would
vary on the NWSD.

for power off, I submitted a network job to the NWSD lpar to power off.
then power off the hosting lpar.

I have an 8202-E4D that has a hosted partition. I do not have an HMC.

When

the machine is powered on, it also tries to start the hosted partition

it fails. When I go into SST, power it off (to get out of failed state),
and power it on, it comes up with no problem. I am guessing something is
not yet in the correct state for the hosted partition to start. Maybe

the

NWSD is not yet active or something but I have not had the time to try to
track it down. This issue appears to be what is throwing the hardware

error

that I complained about not having coverage for early this year.



Is there a way to prevent the system from trying to automatically start

the

hosted partition or is there a way to delay its startup for 10 minutes so
everything will be up and ready for it (assuming that is the issue)? I

am

fine with using SST to manually start it if I need to. The hosted

partition

is rarely used.
