In this presentation, we will explore how the IPLPARM parameter can fundamentally change the way an LPAR initialises, even when using the same system residence volume. By simply adjusting a few key settings within IPLPARM, you can control which PARMLIB members are used, effectively altering the system's configuration at IPL time. Let's dive into how this flexibility allows for multiple profiles on a single LPAR, enabling different subsystem configurations, naming conventions and workload depending on the IPLPARM used. Ultimately, you will gain a deeper understanding of how a few characters can have a huge effect on a system.
As a Technical Delivery Manager specializing in mainframe infrastructure, I bring over a decade of hands-on experience driving large-scale DASD and tape storage migrations, batch scheduling transitions, and automation initiatives across complex enterprise environments. I’m passionate about enabling business continuity and system performance while managing risk and minimizing downtime during critical modernization efforts.
My journey has taken me from hands-on mainframe operations to delivering high-impact infrastructure changes, guiding cross-functional teams, and managing global stakeholders. With deep expertise in tools such as Control-M, TWS, CA-7, NetView, SA, and OPS/MVS, I’ve led the planning and execution of z/OS upgrades, implemented high-stakes changes, and built robust automation frameworks to improve operational resilience.
