I think I saw one of our systems take 78 seconds to shut down recently, but AFAIK, we don't have software to capture the shutdown messages. If I'm thinking of the right system, it has over 5000 devices.

To my mother and father who instilled in me the values that have carried me this far." -- former U.S. Representative Anthony Wiener, during his resignation speech -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU] On Behalf Of Marcy Cortes Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2011 16:05 To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: [IBMVM] Question on SHUTDOWNTIME The default is 30 seconds (Q SHUTDOWNTIME) for the CP's portion of the shutdown process. I recall hearing that is good default. We are seeing systems exceed that - 33 seconds in this one that seemed to come with bonus messages (that is our SW seemed to capture the HCPWRP963I's on this one). Are others seeing that? Here's an example.
