We are experiencing some problems with unpredictable and so far inevitable system shutdowns for aparently unknown reasons. - We are running 4 SLES9 Linux images under z/VM 5.2 - If we keep only 3 images, this problem doesn't seem to appear. It has happened only with 4 images running at once. - OPERATOR 191 console registers suddenly (but it can be like this for HOURS) the following message: xx:yy:zz HCPPAW415E Six continuous paging errors have occurred on DASD 02D5 volume 520PG1.
