The lockout last for either a few seconds, or a few minutes. Never
more that 20 minutes.
In that case I agree with Mark Zelden: if the MIM task is not getting
cycles, it could RESERVE the file and then take time to release it.
Is this test LPAR capped a low value? This limits the cycles available
to the LPAR and if there are other higher priority tasks running it
might have this effect.
Or, if there is some higher priority task that goes into a periodic CPU
loop, or even a combination of busy tasks, they could prevent the MIM
task from getting cycles. Check the MIM task WLM class.
