When the virtual machines are large and mostly paged out because they have been pretty idle, it takes quite some page faults to bring them in. If your z/VM DPA is overcommitted you'll find that the pages just brought in for one of the servers are dropped to make room for the others... I recall that bringing down 100 servers that way certainly took much longer than just bring down one of them... PS You can set the signal such that the FORCE command works like a SIGNAL SHUTDOWN. -- Rob van der Heij rvdheij @ gmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
