David, What other virtual machines do you have running along with this z/OS virtual machine? What is your CPU utilization? Is the z/VM system's paging rate high? (albeit a relative number when comparing different systems)
You can add the QUICKDSP parameter to the OPTION statement in the z/VM directory to keep this virtual machine on the dispatch list. When you say the console was unresponsive, which console are you referring to? Is this the z/OS virtual machine console or a z/OS console? Some additional performance related information would be of great assistance for the list members to better advise you. HITACHI DATA SYSTEMS Raymond E.

The z/OS stopped completely and the console was unresponsive. My questions is: how did it get there and how do I query z/VM to see what it is supposedly waiting for? Thanks, David Booher Quest Software
