Perhaps I can save someone an outage.  We ipled a lot of preventative 
maintenance in our production lpars Sunday.  This morning we started 
getting severe enqueue conflicts for a number of catalogs.  We called IBM 
and by just describing the symptoms the rep said "I think I know your 
problem".  A hiper apar was released FRIDAY (OA19429):

  ERROR DESCRIPTION:
  OA18860 introduces code that places us in a WAIT in order to
  complete IO for spanned record updates.  It has been found that
  the flag indicating us to go issue this WAIT may be ON
  unexpectedly.  This causes tasks to hang holding the SYSIGGV2
  resource.
  .
  TO VERIFY, review the holder of the SYSIGGV2 resource.  In the
  TCB's RB chain, you should see a WAIT.  This apar is a match if
  the WAIT was issued in module IGG0CLEG at level UA30834-30838.
 
 
  LOCAL FIX:
  Action should be taken to roll back PTFs for OA18860.
  F CATALOG,RESTART or F CATALOG,ABEND may temporarily resolve
  this issue.
  ++APARs are expected to be available no later than Jan 19,2007
