SYSRESET—Reset an LPAR

The SYSRESET command requests a system reset for an LPAR (image). This command cannot be directed at the current LPAR. Only an LPAR entity can process this command.

Syntax

SYSRESET { NORMAL | CLEAR }
         [ FORCE={ NO | YES }
         [ IPLTOKEN=ipltoken ]

Parameters

NORMAL | CLEAR

Type of reset you want to perform:

NORMAL

Some elements of the LPAR are not cleared (for example, main storage).

CLEAR

A ‘clear’ operation is performed.

FORCE={ NO | YES }

Default: NO

IPLTOKEN=ipltoken

(Optional) Value of the IPLTOKEN for this LPAR. The current IPLTOKEN value can be retrieved (the value is an attribute of an LPAR entity).

If the targeted hardware does not support the system reset with an IPLTOKEN, the request fails.

Limits: Hexadecimal string from 2 to 128 characters in length (the actual IPLTOKEN can be up to 64 bytes in length)
