No LPAR LPARPrimary Partition LPARSecondary Partition
Perform the following:
a. Make sure that the
system is set to Band
Normal (N) mode before
performing the power
down and subsequent
IPL of the system.
b. Once the system is set to
Band Normal mode,
follow these steps:
1) TypePWRDWNSYS on
the command line
and prompt on the
command (Press F4).
2) Make sure that you
select these options
for the PWRDWNSYS
command:
vFor How to end,
*CNTRLD
vFor Delay time, if
*CNTRLD, 3600
(use the default
value, in seconds,
or the value that
you consider
appropriate given
your software and
system settings)
vFor Restart after
power down, *YES
vFor IPL Source,
*PANEL
Perform the steps in the No
LPARcolumn after verifying
that all secondary partitions
are powered down.
For information about
powering down a system,
see the Powering down a
system with logical
partitions topic in the
Information Center under
Systems Management ->
Logical partitions ->
Managing logical partitions
-> Restarting and powering
down a system with logical
partitions.
Perform the steps in the No
LPARcolumn (set partitions
to B Normal mode, and then
power down and perform an
IPL on the partitions), using
appropriate LPARservice
tool steps, only after
successfully performing a
normal IPL of the primary
partition.
For instructions on setting
the IPL mode, powering
down, and performing an
IPL on secondary partitions,
see the Restarting and
powering down a system
with logical partitions
topic in the Information
Center under Systems
Management -> Logical
partitions -> Managing
logical partitions.

SRC A900 2000 should not appear on the control panel when the IPL

completes. If SRC A900 2000 does appear and you are using Operations

Console, you must perform an IPL in Manual mode (M) on the system to

arrive at the Dedicated Service Tools(DST). Then, in DST, set the console

mode system value to Operations Console, and continue the IPL to sign on.

Toset the system to manual mode, do the following:

vFor systems without logical partitions, see the Changing operating modes

and IPL types topic in the Information Center under System hardware ->

Restarting the system (IPL) -> IPL type.

vFor systems with logical partitions, see the Changing operating mode for

a logical partition topic in the Information Center under Systems

Management -> Logical partitions -> Managing logical partitions ->
