Actually you could do the option 8, but tell it NOT to IPL. An
alternative is to run
INSPTF LICPGM((*ALL)) DEV(OPTVRT01) INSTYP(*DLYALL)
This will tell it to load them all and set them to apply at the next IPL.
I do that midday with production running on all 10 lpars. Minimizes
downtime versus waiting until the system is down to even start loading
them. Besides, if the load fails because you are missing some obscure
ptf, you have time to react.
