If you IPL a standalone program in an LPAR, then there is no need for this page request. It only occurs when you IPL something (anything) in a guest. CP cannot send a real IPL request to the device; so he has to simulate it. A hardware IPL doesn't have that problem. > And if it is asking the wrong page requirement request(s) would > that not cause the HCP message? > > And wouldn't the ICKDSF standalone get the same messages? No, and no. The error indicates that CP got an I/O error of some sort. If you suspect the device is failing, running EREP and looking at the report should confirm it. Of course, if EMC has already told you the device is having problems, then I'd believe them. When you get a chance, move your paging and spooling areas to dedicated volumes without minidisks on them.
