Andy,

That's probably going to depend upon what lives on 9DA1. If it's a root filesystem or (gasp) a swap disk, then it's probably fair to say Linux may throw in the towel. But the z/VM messages don't tell the whole story, /var/log/messages may have more info. But as I say, if it's the root filesystem it may not be able to write the messages, then there's a vicious cycle and boom!

I'd say check into what's causing the IFCC problems.

My background is z/OS so please excuse me....

Question:
We have recently taken many hits (paths being lost, chip,ids etc see below) for some of our DASD which z/VM sits on and Redhat, we are looking into why. Each time we take such a hit we have lost different instances of zLinux. Now I understand the concept the OS z/Vm does the I/O and recovery through MIH etc. I am to assume then Redhat or SUSE any linux running under z/VM is dependant on the operating system for recovery. So it normal when taking a hit like the one below to loose a zLinux instance?

To me this sounds normal but wanted to make sure it wasn't something we missed. We are going to try to set up something in TSA to better monitor it but again just checking.

for example
