Even though the basic steps of installing a fix
on a system with logical partitions are the same as on a system without logical
partitions, there are some items that you need to be aware of before you begin
to install your fixes.
For 8xx models, the basic steps of installing a fix
or PTF are the same on a system with logical partitions as on a system without
logical partitions.
However, you should take the following
precautions:
- When you load fixes to a primary partition, power down all secondary partitions before you restart the primary partition.
- When you use the GO PTF command on the primary partition, change the automatic IPL parameter from the default (*YES) to (*NO). You do not have to do this if you first power down the secondary partitions.
