RE: can i force an IPL from HMC

I have tried to start the console from the HMC, It doesn't connect either.

Are there any gotchas with powering down the partitions?

Yes, there are options to restart or power down the partitions. You can also do the whole server.

The network card probably lost connection to the network and is RCYPND.
You can probably start the console from the HMC and just fix the ethernet line.

I have a system that is not reachable this morning.

According to the HMC I have '00000000' reference code

I can't ping the system

Long story, but we upgraded to V7R3 last weekend and had some job go
crazy that prevented the system save from kicking off at midnight, and
it kicked off around 9am

So again this morning I can't reach the system, but on top of that, we
need some network issues. These seem to be resolved, but I still can't
talk to my system( Network and system are local on premise)

SO I'm wondering if I can force an IPL from the HMC or any other way
to force my way onto system. ?
