I would be interested to know if anyone is using PowerHA for IBMi along with Live Partition Mobility.

Specifically how one might use these processes to perform monthly maintenance, such as loading a Technology Refresh, without interrupting service to Telnet users.

My "incomplete" understanding of these processes seems to indicate that if I want to do an IPL to apply PTF's followed by running a SAVSYS backup, I'd still have to take the system from my telnet connected application users. Is this true? If so, how can I ever have a truly 7x24 IBMi environment?

Also, using PowerHA, External Disk (V840 SAN), and VIOS, how could I automatically SWAP to my HA system in the event I lose my primary system unexpectedly (i.e. power outage or system crash)?
