Does your sandbox share OSAs with production lpars? When we encountered the problem with offload, every lpar sharing the OSA was impacted.

But, the Exception Letters still say the problem > is NOT fixed. Interesting.... They're dated three days LATER than the date we installed the latest ucode (that was supposed to fix the problem). We enabled SEGMENTATIONOFFLOAD on the sandbox (z/OS 1.9) yesterday, but there's very little TCPIP load on the sandbox (still doing IVP of 1.9, and post-installation "cleanup"). Maybe we can cobble up something that should "stress" it to the breaking point (maybe FTP-ing some SMF offload datasets or sysdumps?). Meanwhile, we'll leave it disabled on the other LPARs until we hear something more reassuring (or determine that we can't "break" it on the sandbox). -jc- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ----------------------------------------- This e-mail and any attachments are intended only for the individual or company to which it is addressed and may contain information which is privileged, confidential and prohibited from disclosure or unauthorized use under applicable law.
