Abstract
A method and apparatus for implementing power up detection in a power down cycle to dynamically determine whether a failed component in a system prevents another Initial Program Load (IPL) or re-IPL, or result in a loss of resources. Predefined mandatory functions are called to collect power down/up data that prevents re-IPL, or results in the reduction of resources. A user is notified, allowing the customer to continually utilize the system, while ordering hardware to be replaced.
