Check to see if the image is recording SMF19. This can take a lot of time....
HTH, <snip> I was just going thru the IPL statistics of all LPARs in out org. I see in one LPAR the SMFWAIT is taking fairly longer comp to others. out of total 00:01:12 MSI time this takes 00:00:53.586 I am not sure what happens in this process, took a chance & compared the SMFPRMxx and saw there is one exit IEFU84 additional compared to PROD and QA lpars. would this be the cause for slower IPL ? Will it also may be one reason contributing to performance issues? as i understand this exit gets control before each SMF write. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
