DEFINE SYSTEM SYSA RESET—Reset System A

The following DEFINE SYSTEM SYSA RESET is coded in the INITCMDS file and resets system A:

// comment 1
      DEFINE,
     /* comment 2
    SYSTEM ,
   # comment 3
  SYSA        ,
 * comment 4
RESET

The following syntax allows commands to be directed to specific systems:

IFSYS systemlist
  …
ENDSYS
systemlist

Specifies a list of one or more system names specified as an LPAR name, an SMFID, or a value of the system variable &SYSNAME. All statements between the IFSYS and ENDSYS are processed only by systems that match a system name in the systemlist.

The INITCMDS DD is not required to start the SOF server, but it is required to make certain definitions to the SOF server. These definitions are described in the next subsections.
