Changing the IPL source for a logical partition

You can choose a separate initial program load (IPL) source (type) for each logical partition. Each IPL
source (A, B, C, or D) on a system with logical partitions works just like it would on a system without
logical partitions.
Attention: Only a hardware service representative should use IPL source C. Use only under the direction
of your service representative. Severe data loss can occur with improper use of this function.
You can perform this procedure from system service tools (SST) or dedicated service tools (DST). To
change IPL source on a logical partition follow these steps:
1. Start SST or DST.
2. From SST select option 5 (Work with system partitions); from DST select option 11 (Work with system
partitions).
3. Select option 2 (Work with partition status).
4. At the Work with Partition Status display, use your cursor to select the logical partition you want to
change .
5. Make sure that the logical partition is in manual mode. If not, select 10 (Mode manual) and press Enter
to change the logical partition to manual mode.
6. Type the letter of the IPL source (A, B, C, or D) that you want to select.
For information on how each IPL source works and why you may need to change it, go to IPL Type page
in the Information Center.

Restarting a secondary partition on system IPL

partitions) and press Enter.
