Kris, Your RxServer is more modern than my VMSERVE and has the advantage of your continual support, which I can't do w/o access to a VM system. Also, your technical knowledge has grown since I retired (and so has VM), so RxServe may have features that VMSERVE wasn't capable of. VMSERVE is ai

That's the strange part, there is nothing. This is happening on VM systems with very little going on, so there isn't any "noise". Here's what the console looks like when it happens: DMSCYW2246I 15:06:26 WAKEUP in (299 sec). DMSCYW2246I* 00066 ==/==/== +5 15:11:26 EXEC HOBVARS DMSCYW2246I* 00067

Its definitely not a disk access issue. Its running on its own private 191 disk on each of the systems. I had originally thought it was a problem with the filemode, but I changed it to A6 and the problem still occurs. I'm not sure if the external interrupt is a "red herring" though. Wakeup is s
