Hi, I am reviewing our settings for HOTIO in IECIOSxx
SYS1.PARMLIB(IECIOS00) IBM default if different HOTIO DFLT110=(OPER,OPER) BOX,BOX HOTIO DFLT111=(CHPK,OPER) CHPX,BOX HOTIO DFLT112=(OPER,OPER) CHPK,BOX was CHPK,OPER HOTIO SDFT110=(OPER,OPER) BOX,BOX HOTIO SDFT111=(CUK,OPER) CUK,BOX HOTIO SDFT112=(CUK,OPER) CUK,BOX IBM changed the default for DFLT112 from CHPK,OPER to CHPK,BOX in z/OS 1.8 and it prompted me to review these. I cannot remember an instance of HOTIO in many years but I do think that OPER as the first action as we have in many cases is probably unwise. Curious if anyone else has changed the IBM defaults or if anyone has some insights on what was the motivation for the change in 1.8 to DFLT112? This specifies the recovery action to be taken for a DASD or a dynamic pathing device that is not reserved or assigned. My guess is that IBM must have seen some cases where OPER resulted in prompts incorrectly or not replied to and it caused an outage. My current thinking is to propose we at least remove OPER as the first action in this case and possibly for all the cases. Anyone have any comments?
