Re: Power7/HMC: How to automatically start/stop VIOS with the hardware

[Roberto José Etcheverry Romero <yggdrasil.raiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

You'll want to look for automation helpers, like Ansible, there are a lot
of playbooks for Power Systems that can handle all of these, or you can
roll your own. The most complicated part would be monitoring the IBM i LPAR
until it is 100% down (checking the LPAR status on the HMC) and only then
shutting down the VIOSes/Machine
