Re: System Power Control Network

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Someone already recommended QIPLTYPE.  Forgot to change this once when
doing a complete restore to another machine.

You may also wish to check the IPL type as displayed on the front of the
system unit.  01 B N is very cool.  Of course, IBM decided to change from N
for normal to some hieroglyphics on some models.

Dan,

Where in the system values do you specify that the IPL
should be "unattended". Whenever I IPL it invariably
switches to "attended", which is a pain.
