AUTOIPL CHANGE for LPAR ACTIVATION

WE would like to have AUTOIPL processing incorporate a deactivate on activate of the lpar that is being REIPL. This should be and option in the DIAGXX member, like you now have for reconfigurable storage.
This process is now been done by our BMC
software.

    .Plan is to provide an indication that an LPAR needs to be deactivated and reactivated due to pending changes via the D M=CPU or other command. Client automation can use this information to decide whether to IPL or deactivate/activate the LPAR. This will not occur automatically via DIAGxx AUTOIPL when an unplanned IPL of the LPAR occurs.
