I will be doing DR testing this week and will not have time to look into this until some time next week.
The behaviour was very repeatable if anyone wants to give it a go this week. 1. logon to user 2. start logon here of the same user from another terminal (wait at the password prompt) 3. logoff user from terminal 1 4. query user from another session (logoff/force pending is what I see) 5. condition can be cleared by pressing enter on terminal 2 Bob. -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Alan Altmark Sent: Tuesday, November 03, 2009 4:39 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: FW: logoff/force pending due to incomplete "logon here" On Tuesday, 11/03/2009 at 04:45 EST, Bob Levad <ble...@winnebagoind.com> wrote: > I don't know if others have seen this behaviour, but I've seen discussion of > logoff/force pending recently and found nothing similar in a quick internet > search. If you LOGOFF or are FORCEd while you are in the middle of LOGON HERE, you should get HCPLGA6051E Restart the logon procedure because reconnect processing cannot be done Any time you get LOGOFF/FORCE PENDING and the condition doesn't clear itself in a reasonable[1] amount of time you should get a SNAPDUMP or restart dump and open a PMR. If CP isn't going to give you a hint as to what to do to fix the problem (other than IPL), then CP needs to not get into that state in the first place. Hence the need to open a PMR. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott [1] The longest you have to wait for an I/O to complete or get an error is twice the missing interrupt handler time for the device. INDICATE I/O will tell you if the user is waiting on I/O. Do a QUERY MITIME on any device you see the user waiting on. Take the longest MITIME and double it. For DASD and tape, the MITIME value comes from the device itself. Note that for 2nd level systems, the missing interrupt handler is turned OFF by default!
