I missed the mention of a 'clone'. We migrate system software via cloning, but we clone and migrate only code, e.g. the sysres volume containing (in this case) all of JES2. We migrate to a long existing sandbox system that has its own spool and checkpoint, which would have been shut down normally via $P JES2 before IPLing the new level.
If OP has also cloned the JES2 checkpoint and spool, there could be some internal inconsistency that the 2.1 level happens to fall victim to. . .

In all your tests since the original one, are you using the same cloned system? I was wondering if you try a new clone of the production system whether it will work or not. There is a possibility of some kind of error due to timing of the clone. I assume the clone was done with a snapshot? -- Dale R.
