I think you sort of hung yourself here, GRS was bringing TEST into the ring just fine when you shot test. If you had waited, TEST would most likely have joined the ring without error. The JES2 messages are just a symptom of the join process, which can be VERY slow in non-XCF RING mode, if there are a lot of resources enqueued. I am in the process of converting from an old RING into an XCF RING, and the join process takes 5 minutes the old way, but only about 8 seconds w/XCF. Feel free to contact me off-list if you have any questions.
>>> Daniel McLaughlin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 5/19/2008 1:27 PM >>> We were attempting GRS startup. PROD was up and happy when the TEST LPAR was IPL'd. Then we started getting all sorts of JES2 CKPT dataset alerts about some allocated type condition. OK, let's take TEST down. But TEST, at the same time, was having heartburn over the ACDS (posted earlier). TEST wouldn't come down gracefully with automation because SMS had never come up. Long story short - we nailed TEST all the way down to DEACTIVATE. PROD, in the meantime, was spewing the JES2 message, and nothing was there to reply to. D GRS showed all player inactive. Tried to smoke JES2, but he was in the bog and not coiming out. One unscheduled IPL... GRS seemed to recognize that another member was gone, but as stated, we were severly boxed up. We're researching, telling IBM, and any one else who will perhaps have a clue, such as the membership of this forum.
