Someone hinted at BCPii to get this info from the HMC. I don't believe BCPii has this capability at present. There are other things BCPii / HMC might be taught to do (theoretically) in the memory area. As well, perhaps, as this. Food for thought.

If with typical memory configurations of today it is now causing the appearance to end users of an outage of several minutes, the impact is no longer minor and it would be equally appropriate that its status should be re-visited and changed to a Defect APAR worthy of some resolution. -- Joel C.
