Good suggestion, but that low hanging fruit dropped off the tree many years ago. Wish it were that simple. ;-)

If your freeze is synchronised with SMF/RMF interval, check II07124 - we added DDCONS(NO) to our SMF parms to resolve that problem (actually for us it was a 30 second freeze, although the APAR states 1-5 minutes).

Nothing approaching four minutes, but disturbingly long. A couple of points: -- If the freeze was one time only and not chronic, it's probably not SMF/RMF -- Based on our experience, good luck in gathering doc. If the whole system is frozen, who can 'take notes' while in a coma? In any case, please keep us updated. . .
