Re: What's Considered Long for an IPL?

Love the remote HMC! Love the remote console which allows a GO SAVE 21
from home. Although I did one before the IPL and it disconnected
right away. Couldn't get another console session even though the
console was a SHARED connection.
Fortunately, the save completed on its own.

Great!  Ain't HMC's cool?  Have you figured out how to get to the system
console on the HMC remotely also?  That's a godsend.

Also, did you figure out why it didn't automatically come up based on your
Power schedule?

It finally dawned on me I could use a web browser to get to the HMC
and I found that the partition was not activated. I activated it and
just a moment ago got a QINTER session to come up via VPN.
The activation (IPL) only took 25 minutes or so!

Any chance you ran something like

You may want to ditch the twinax and go with something like HMC or Lan
Console with PC Anywhere or some such thing on it.  Saves those rides

in.

You've probably already in.  What was it?

Thanks for your reply Jim.I don't know whether there were PTFs to
apply. I'm at home so I don't know what's on the panel. This was a
pwrdwnsys and power up using the GO POWER menu.  I think it was on 01
B N but can't be sure.

If QINTER isn't up by 2015 hours, I'll probably have to drive in. I'm
lucky it's only 20 minutes or so.

That sounds too long, but need to ask:

were any ptfs loaded to apply at ipl?
processor check light?
what's on the panel?
any disk activity lights blinks (and not just a polling occassional

blink)

Is this *full or *Sys ipl?
Was the machine in "01  B  N" when started?

I scheduled a power down for 1630 and a power up for 1705; and it's
now 1925 and QINTER still isn't active.  Is it normal for some IPLs to
take this long?  It's been over a year since the last IPL and we're on
V5R4M0.
