>Any idea why *MASTER* might be suffering of START PENDING on a device >which contains HSM's OCDS?
Was your question why you see *MASTER* instead of HSM (or whatever HSM's jobname is)? I was investigating this last year and here is what I found out: Initially, HSM starts an I/O. When this I/O times out (MIH) a first START PENDING message is written and this message should show HSM. The I/O will be redriven but this time the IOSB is scheduled under the MASTER ASID. If the I/O times out again, you will see another message but with *MASTER* this time.
