If possible, get a restart dump and open a PMR.  Long-wait LOGOFF/FORCE 
PENDING conditions are not really supposed to happen and CP shouldn't get

I tried varying the chpid off and had no response and my userid is hung. The 
chpid feeds a controller that someone just powered off.

At this time the suspect is network connection between the 2096 and other 
devices.
I'll wait to hear their verdict then try if still a problem.

Thanks.

Try varying off (and then back on, in the opposite order) the devices,
path, and CHPID - I believe that will reset the physical device.

It probably is an OSA. The machine is up now but with connection errors.

Figure out which device(s) are responsible (usually tape drives, but
could be OSA). Then issue multiple (often, 10 or more are required) HALT
commands for those devices. If tape drives, re-IML the unit.
