Mike, Don't issue the vary until JES2 (and everything else) is down and you've done a "Z EOD" to clear various buffers (like SMF).
After the "vary offline" has completed be sure to issue a RESET CLEAR for that system on the HMC. You have been ill advised. Dick >>> "Mike Myers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 6/3/2008 6:41 AM >>> Hi all: I have had someone tell me yesterday that they have been told that when shutting down a member in a parallel sysplex that once you get "ALL AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS COMPLETE" from JES2 that you should then issue the V XCF,member,OFFLINE command without first stopping JES2 ($PJES2). The implications are that to stop JES2 causes some problem in JES2. The person had no explanation as to what the problem caused actually was supposed to be, but was adamant that this was the proper thing to do. He had been told by someone in authority to do this. It just doesn't sound right to me. It would make more sense that JES2 could shut itself down cleanly than just pulling the rug out from under it by abruptly stopping XCF services before JES2 had a chance to clean up its act. So, I'm wondering if anyone else out there has heard this same story and either has the evidence to back up the claim or to reject it.
