Just found this information related to the ZFS delay I'd had, which I'd filed away. It's copied from a redpiece. I chopped bits out here and there I think, but the full text is in the following Redpiece: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/pdfs/sg246580.pdf 2.12.2 Mounting zFS file systems

2012-04-16 Thread Patrick Loftus
Yeah, that could have been it. I believe it waits something like 1 minute, and then continues. If your ZFS shutdown wasn't clean, it may have also been checking each ZFS filesystem, which can take a lot of time if you have a lot of ZFS filesystems. You'd see messages on the SYSLOG for this

60s*10*no.of.cps is correct no matter what the engine speed isn't it, for CPU seconds? How much work gets done in those seconds will differ depending on the engine speed though, e.g. a z10-604 and a z10-704 same amount of CPU seconds, but the 704 will be processing more instructions, and if you

One thing I hate is when something/someone places a large amount of data into a filesystem, which automatically grows. You then find that data was placed there accidentally, or incorrectly. You're left with an over allocated filesystem, with no way of dynamically (that I know of anyway)

We use OPS/MVS to raise all kinds of alerting - batch job failures, STCs falling over, error messages from syslog, etc etc etc, you name it. OPS/MVS uses OPSCAWTO and sends SNMP traps over to a server running BMC software to raise the incidents. We have a generic REXX which numerous rules pass
