IBM Z Hardware Commands

These commands are executed on the SE, the CPC hardware itself, or both. The command completion details are returned to ProcOps in an asynchronous event. The overall duration of these hardware commands might vary and dependents on the machine or partition configuration.

  • ACTIVATE - Activate a CPC hardware, a CPC image, or both.
  • CBU - Activate the Capacity Backup record temporarily.
  • DEACTIVATE - Deactivate a CPC hardware, a CPC image, or both.
  • EXTINT - Issue a z/Architecture External Interrupt on a CPC image.
  • CLRHWMSG - Remove a hardware message from the SE or HMC event view.
  • LOAD - Load (IPL) an operating system or standalone program in a CPC image.
  • OOCOD - Activate the Capacity on Demand record temporarily.
  • RESTART - Perform a z/Architecture restart function on a CPC image.
  • START - Perform the z/Architecture central processor start function.
  • STOP - Perform the z/Architecture central processor stop function.
  • STP - Manage the IBM Z Server Time Protocol (STP).
  • SYSRESET - Perform the z/Architecture system reset function for a CPC image.
  • TCM - Manage temporary capacity for different record types.

Special case: Sending an operating system command to a CPC image using the hardware console integration facility

In ProcOps, this IBM Z hardware command is implemented in the ISQSEND and ISQSNDH command APIs.
