Behaviour after restart

2011-07-18 Thread Buettner, Wolfgang
After a system restart OPERATOR's console hangs on its very first screen in HOLDING status (I guess due to the fact that some system messages are highlighted) and is waiting until the screen is cleared manually. Though there is not any other prompt to be answered and the system itself continues to

Hi Ashwin, Establish a R/O link from MAINT as vadr to that E102 and then enter: cpfmtxa vadr DVPAGA allocate This will read the allocation map directly from the volume without the risk to disturb it. I do not believe that your z/VM 6.1 would not recognize allocation records if they were written
