Several warnings when shutting down a Power-System

When a LPAR is selected on a Power-system, the selected Hardware (Power-system) is still active to operations, like "Power Off".
In our unit, it happened twice that the operator wanted to shutdown a LPAR, and unfortunately shut down the whole system.
The HMC sends a warning, but also when you shutdown a LPAR.
There should be a clear and prominent warning that you will shut down the hardware and disable several hundred LPARs.

    Hi,

    When a system power off is initiated from GUI and if lpars are running, there is a warning message which pops-up stating "There are running partitions. It is highly recommended that you shut down all partitions before powering off the system.

    Would you like to continue powering off the system without shutting down the running partitions first?". There is a choice presented to the user to select 'Yes' or 'No' to decide to proceed or cancel the operation. Also, with the latest M941 update, when powering off a managed system from the GUI, the default selection has been changed to "No" in the warning pop-up displayed when partitions are running. Pressing enter on the keyboard will no longer trigger the managed system power off.

    Given the above, can you provide more info on the the additional warning or enhancement being requested ?

    Thanks.
