Morning all, We have noticed an intermittent OMVS shutdown problem, possibly since going to z/OS 2.1, though I'm not willing to bet on that. The general scenario is that almost all of the system is down, and we're into stopping OMVS. Systems automation then issues a stop to OMVS:
F OMVS,SHUTDOWN BPXI055I OMVS SHUTDOWN REQUEST ACCEPTED and in the particular syslog I'm looking at we get a *BPXI064E OMVS SHUTDOWN REQUEST DELAYED briefly, before: D OMVS BPXO042I 10.57.34 DISPLAY OMVS 724 OMVS 0010 SHUTTING DOWN 0 Which proceeds in an orderly fashion: D OMVS BPXO042I 10.58.04 DISPLAY OMVS 741 OMVS 0010 SHUTTING DOWN 1 D OMVS BPXO042I 10.58.14 DISPLAY OMVS 755 OMVS 0010 SHUTTING DOWN 13 and then: *BPXI056E OMVS SHUTDOWN REQUEST HAS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY (why is that an 'E' level message?) and finally: D OMVS BPXO042I 10.58.34 DISPLAY OMVS 786 OMVS 0010 SHUTDOWN However, intermittently, we don't get past the 'SHUTTING DOWN' message, and the "progress counter" (out of what?) stops incrementing, so each display of OMVS shows: OMVS 0010 SHUTTING DOWN 13 Ad infinitum (well, maybe not infinite, but we have left it for at least 20 minutes). Obviously the thing to do here is take a dump and open a PMR, but we haven't yet seen the issue since we decided to do that. I just wondered whether anyone had seen this before. OMVS is particularly unhelpful once it's accepted the shutdown request - all it tells you from then on is just 'OMVS IS SHUTTING DOWN' no matter what you ask it. There's probably a raft of information I've left out that would be needed to begin to answer this! Thanks, -- Andy Styles z/Series Systems Programmer Lloyds Banking Group plc.
