RE: completely shut down multiple lpars and hmc

Definitely.

Thanks for the confirmation.

(btw - the funny thing is no one knows how long the UPS would stay up - it
is substantial, but has never been tested under load for any period of time.

There are half dozen win servers, and a possibility the in room air
conditioning is on it...). No one is around who did the original specs for
the room.

Just to be certain you will use PWRDWNSYS to power down the partitions
right? Just doing so via the HMC 5250 Console.

Depending on how long they sit in restricted state first pwrdwnsys can still
take some time so watch the hMC for SRC codes until the partitions show they
are down.

Once all down then power off the server via the HMC. Finally the HMC.

Older HMC - assume its what IBM labelled "classic"?



Has not been completely down for several years.

Full system backup is recent.

Was going to put system into restricted state first, we know about the
time for disk cache to clear,

and the time to unmount the opticals.



Then HMC to power off partitions, and then HMC.



Found this, but all the docs referring to P8 or 9..

Are we missing anything?

(this was once well documented but someone cleaned up..
