I have a couple of questions, but first a description of the incident. We had the system z/VM 5.4 "go into a disabled wait" (not my words). Looking at the OPERATOR's console log:
09/10/25 00:00:00 : HCPMID6001I TIME IS 00:00:00 CDT SUNDAY 10/25/09 09/10/25 00:09:26 : 00:09:26 HCPSHU6018I THE PROCESSOR CONTROLLER HAS SENT A SHUTDOWN SIGNAL WITH A TIMEOUT 09/10/25 00:09:26 INTERVAL OF 66 SECONDS 09/10/25 00:09:26 : 00:09:26 HCPSIG2113I USER HOBBITVM HAS REPORTED SUCCESSFUL TERMINATION 09/10/25 00:09:26 : 00:09:26 HCPSIG2113I USER VMSERVS HAS REPORTED SUCCESSFUL TERMINATION 09/10/25 00:09:26 : 00:09:26 HCPSIG2113I USER VMSERVR HAS REPORTED SUCCESSFUL TERMINATION 09/10/25 00:09:26 : 00:09:26 HCPSIG2113I USER VMSERVU HAS REPORTED SUCCESSFUL TERMINATION 09/10/25 00:10:02 : 00:10:02 PROCESSOR 01 OFFLINE 09/10/25 01:51:25 PROP MKMFVM : PROP running with routing table PROP RTABLE A1 I can't tell what caused the system to shutdown, specifically what caused the HCPSHU6018I. (Or what is the "processor controller"?) From the HMC: Date: Oct 25, 2009 Time: 1:10:01 AM Partition VM and central processor (CP) 1 are in a disabled wait state. The disabled wait program status word (PSW) is 00020000000000000000000000009003. Central storage bytes 0-7 are: 7ffff10f7ffff10f7ffff10f7ffff10f. The next question relates to the above. There are 4 HCOSIG2113I. I have added, since installation, an additional SFS server, yet it's not showing up on this list. Was there something special I should have done so that this file pool will terminate in cases like this? Frank M.
