Hallo to all,
I need to put some drives offline on 4 lpars (they share the dasds).
I am using the following command :
*V A0F1,OFFLINE,ALL
But it doesn't go offline. When I query the drive it shows the
status a O.
It's been a while since I worked with JES3, but ISTR that the JES3 VARY
OFFLINE only makes them offline to JES3 and not to MVS. In that case,
you need RO *ALL,V A0F1,OFFLINE
No. Since *at least* some old MVS/XA release, JES3 automatically varies
devices online/offline as needed to all MVS systems referenced on the
XUNIT parameter of the device definition.

In this day and age, it's hard to imagine anyone running JES3 that would
specify a value other than *ALL (which I believe became available in
some OS/390 release -- V2R9?):

If, after issuing *VARY, the approriate MVS VARY does not automatically
occur under the covers, there might be an error in the device definition
or it could be a bug of some sort. But, AFAIK it's certainly not normal.
