Possibility to disable automatic "PU config on" by GDPS when CBU is active at IPL

Any z/OS system that is IPLed after the CBU, CPE, BOOST, or OOCoD activate will automatically have the PUs configured online during GDPS initialization in that system.

This is not always a wanted configuration. For example, when Dev/Test system are IPLed on a CEC with activated CBU, then no reserved CP "config online" should be done.
 

Idea:

Implement a new GDPS option statement, which allowes the suppression of automatic "config on" processing during IPL, when CBU is active.

    I can't remember that we have seen this behavior. But if GDPS configures CPs during initialization, I like to control it with an option.

    FIS/Worldpay agrees. We do not have GDPS in our Development environment. If we did, we would not want PUs brought online if CBU is active. Thus, an option to enable/disable is desirable.

    It is a good idea with more options regarding this.

    Good idea, low priority for us as well.

    If PUs were automatically configured online when CBU is active, we would like to have the possibility to suppress it. But we are not sure if there is an automatically "config on" process.

    Last weekend, we did a site switch with enabling CBU and IPLing systems on the other site on CECs with activated CBU, and there were not all CPs online.

    Not a high priority for us, but a useful idea
