Jim, Terminating the TCP/IP partition in VSE should shutdown the OSA interface. TCP/IP partition shutdown (in either vendors product) should cause a call to be made to the $IJBOSA with a terminate function. If the OSA is running in OSA/2 mode then a simple SVC 25 is used to halt the I/O operation and allow the interface to shutdown.
There is an APAR available for VSE that will cause a message to be written to the VSE console in the event of a VM shutdown. This allow automation products to terminate CICS, TCP/IP, POWER, etc. in an orderly fashion.
