I thought that a PMR for a one-time problem that could not be reproduced
and had no documentation, nothing to analyze, was not likely to be very
productive of results.

And I just did a PSW restart yesterday because I needed to IPL to fix a

severe performance problem and wanted a dump of the system.

For some reason CP was spending enormous amounts of time doing
instructio= n simulation that seemed to be triggered by the virtual
machines involved i= n collecting the monitor data.  I don't yet know
definitively what happened.  The T/V ratio for several CMS machines
skyrocketed, but not so=
 
for the Linux guests.

Unfortunately, I took the dump after terminating the servers in question
=

so it's probably of little use.

and works brilliantly. Just did one last week - for fun and practice. 
Still results in a SVC002 abend code.  Then read the dump with VMDUMPTL

after DUMPLOAD processing.
