Re: Power restoration, the HMC and the i5

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

We have the UPS cables going directly to the 520 and the 570.

You do not need your HMC up to keep running the i5's.  However, if they 
are down, and your system values were not set right, then you will need it 
to power them up.  If you decided that you do not need the iSeries to 
automatically IPL when power is restored, then waiting 15 minutes for the 
HMC to IPL should not be a big problem.

However, if you, as a customer, wants the HMC to autoipl when power is 
restored then I'd call IBM and find out how to get it to do just that.

And, I would definitely call IBM if you got the error mentioned when doing 
a CHGSYSVAL QPWRRSTIPL
