Recover LPAR profiles after a crash of a server.

OK wmp,

Let me explain you one of our headaches at the center. We have two identical power 702 servers (PS702_1 and PS702_2) on a bladecenter H. We have separated 50 differents productions between this two servers (25 x 25)

But, what if PS702_1 does down, dead and can be started again? How can I create ASAP the 25's LPARs from PS702_1 in PS702_2?

I think manually is almost impossible to get all WWNs, etc etc.

Which is the solution to my problem? Systems plans on two PS702 server?

From a PS702_1 system plan can I restore all 25 LPARs into PS702_2 wihout affect LPARs in PS702_2?

Which is your opinion about this?

Thanks tons!!

and what about SDMC? I think it should be the same as HMC..

Although we have IVM for other client, the question was, and I forgot to say it, on SDMC..

So, if HMC = SDMC , I have to:

1- on PS702_1 create a new system plan and save it somewhere.
2- on PS702_2 create a new system plan and save it somewhere.

In case PS702_1 crashed, I can deploy on PS702_2, with the wizzrd you said above, the corresponding file and restore all 25 LPARs from PS702_1 without impact the local LPARs?

bad news for us because we have more than 7 IVMs nowadays..

OK, so only with HMC you can deploy (import) a system plan from other system without problem...isn't?

Thanks for your perfect answers to this forum....
