I'm not sure if this has been fixed yet, but you also need to explicitly
exclude Type 69 records.

Subject: SMF Type 19 and IPL Hang

If you collect SMF Type 19 records, beware that an 
SMF-initialization-time LSPACE request is issued for every volume 
connected to the system. If SYSVTOC.volid is held by another system for 
any significant period of time, an IPLing system will appear to be 
"stuck". This happened to us and we had to wait over half an hour for a 
full-volume dump (occurring on another system) of a 60K cylinder DASD to

finish before SMF would initialize and the IPL could continue. The 
contention looked like this:

ISG343I 08.05.18 GRS STATUS          FRAME LAST   F      E   SYS=MVS70
S=SYSTEMS SYSVTOC  TIVSM4
SYSNAME        JOBNAME         ASID     TCBADDR   EXC/SHR    STATUS
MVS70     DFHSM70            0026       00BA2E88 EXCLUSIVE    OWN
MVS60     SMF                0018       00BFD0C0 EXCLUSIVE    WAIT

IBM's suggestion for a fix/workaround/solution? Don't collect SMF Type 
19 records. :-(
