Step 7: Perform an IPL with SSM

You test how SSM functions during system shutdown and at IPL time. Before you test the SSM functions, consider the following information:

Set the CA OPS/MVS STATEMAN parameter to ACTIVE.
You completed Steps 1 through 6 successfully. If you set the monitoring mode to PASSIVE for started tasks that you did not want to include in your other SSM tests, change the MODE value for those tasks to ACTIVE. Then, repeat Step 6 for each task.
The MODE value for the STCTBL table and each started task is ACTIVE.
The current states and desired states in your STCTBL table are UP for tasks that are active or DOWN for inactive tasks.
You created a new COMMNDnn member of the Logical Parmlib Concatenation that contains the following:
- The CA OPS/MVS START command
- The tasks (if any) that SSM does not control
- The tasks that SSM does not start at IPL, but manages after those tasks become active (these tasks are the tasks for which you set the IPL_STATE value to IPL in Step 2).
