-- snip -- There was a UPS problem, it registered(?) anomaly in the electricity and itself and cut the electricity on the site (that was my understanding). I came later in and had to do only with the problems on the mainframe side. The simplex devices (that is, not mirrored) were not critical for the production (the applications could go on with the half of the capacity). The only problem was that applications hanged as result of these allocations. Luckily, it happened in the night, and as the electricity came, we had the access to all the volumes again - no problems. Well, as Ed Finnell wrote: "when the subsystem gets IML'd (takes forever under normal circumstances)". Normally, it is a primary GDPS site for one production sysplex, but at the time that was our secondary site, so we lost only the systems running there. -- snip --
I've lost track here! You're running GDPS (I assume with PPRC and Hyperswap), and you lost power to your secondary site. I assume that those devices were also the secondary Duplex devices. Is it possible that you were experiencing a Long Busy situation in your production site? (admittedly - very long!)
