An initial program load (IPL) of a logical partition (LPAR) is managed by establishing a logical path to the LPAR from a storage controller.When a notice is received by the storage controller from the LPAR that the IPL has commenced, the LPAR address is stored in a data structure. After the storage controller initiates a pack change state interrupt, the stored address is compared with the addresses in a list of all LPARS to which the interrupt is directed. If the list of addresses includes the stored address, the stored address is removed from the list. Thus, the pack change state interrupt is transmitted only to the addresses in the list, leaving the LPAR to complete the IPL without interruption. After the storage controller receives a notice from the LPAR that the IPL has completed, the address of the LPAR is removed from the data structure.
