GDPS Communicates with the LPARs on the HMA Support Element via BCPii. This is how it is able to Activate, Deactivate, Load, Reset & Shutdown the LPARs from GDPS.

Add the HMA Support Element Operating System Messages option (Call it CONSOLE) to GDPS to retrieve an LPAR NIP Console after a LOAD or Shutdown is initiated. 1 stop shopping for the Operators to complete the IPL or shutdown from inside GDPS. No need to go someplace else to continue an IPL or Shutdown. No other product to pull up or having to log on the HMA Support Element.
