Having done lots of SHUTDOWN REIPL with a new CPLOAD MODULE, I highly doubt that is the cause.
Are you sure they are not doing: SHUTDOWN RIPL ucb I have seen this on some CNR tests because you are IPLing using a different volume where the checkpoint area is on a different area of the volume. -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Marcy Cortes Sent: Friday, May 01, 2009 2:37 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Shutdown REIPL Operations made me curious today. The said sometimes when we do our SHUTDOWN REIPL thing on the disaster test systems, they have to enter FORCE. Auto_Warm_IPL is on. Does it do that because of a new CPLOAD module? This is the only relevant message: 12:12:10 HCPWRM904E System recovery failure; incorrect warm start data. Marcy "This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
