We took an MIH hit on an OSA. IBM is developing APAR # VM64398. You might consider doing an AST on it as it also was responsible for a LOGOFF/FORCE pending condition.

It was early in our day (the 16:xx:xx time is GMT), so we were not at a peak. The controllers have a REL 3000 share with QUICKDSP on. We rarely hit over 50% cpu utilization on the system, so their being starved of cpu is not the answer. The controllers show numbers like this: "CPU 00: Ctime=4 01:44:28 Vtime=0 00:00:01 Ttime=0 00:00:41" in response to IND USER uid EXP, so they obviously do not consume cpu. We are not memory constrained. We seldom see any paging. I guess that the cause will remain a mystery. Maybe I should blame it on the OSA card :-) We are still using DTCVSW2 with F00 as the backup device, so it remains an unknown.
