How do I toggle the AS/400 device auto configuration feature on and off?

How do I toggle the AS/400 device auto configuration feature on and off? From what I have read I have come to the conclusion that I need to do an attended IPL. A technician who did maintenance on or model 170 showed me how to activate and deactivate the auto configuration feature without performing an IPL. I cannot remember how it was done. Please help me to remember.

The system value QAUTOCFG can be set to 0=Off, or 1=On for Automatically configuring devices.

How do I automate a full system backup on my i5 server? Backup and recovery expert Ken Graap explains how to automate a full system backup on the i5 server.

What changes are required to convert an LPAR to native zLinux? We have two z800 machines containing five LPARs -- three productions and two test environments. We are looking into converting one of the test LPARs to a native zLinux. Since the DASD of the test LPARs is separated from production ones, there is no need to be worried about the DASD on that environment.

The question is: Do we need to change anything on the IOCDS to reflect zLinux (native, not under z/VM), taking into consideration that we will utilize all available DASD on the test environment? Are there any hardware changes needed (e.g., adding Linux processor and the changes on the HMC profile)?
