Just wanted to give an update on this topic. We were able to fix the problem I noted below with APAR fix AA20554. We also were seeing sporadic 878-10 abends in OAM, which seems to be fixed by UA34353. We are also upgrading to TWS 8.3, and there are a number of lately re-classified PTF's as hipers that is delaying the cutover of our last 1.6 system. We also had a problem with PDS-E directory locks not being released, and that was fixed with OA20694.
Since this original email, we have upgraded another 7 production LPAR's, and have had no real issues.

We upgraded 3 production lpars over the weekend, and so far all is looking pretty good(a little early to tell), with one exception so far. We have an open ETR with IBM. What we are seeing is some batch jobs failing with S80A-10, S878 type abends. Run them on a 1.6 system, and the are ok. Compared virtual storage map between versions, and available private below the line is the same. There are a couple of common denominators in that they all are DB2 type utilities(BMC COPY PLUS, IBM DB2 utils, Princeton), and they all use many tapes. We've sent a dump off to IBM for analysis. Anyone see this? As we find out more, I'll keep the list up-to-date.
