Convert the reserve to enqueue via GRS parms might help some. Hardware reserves are great when performing "device tricks" between non-grs'd systems... but I am guessing that you have a multiple systems and the reserve becomes progressively more of a pain-causing entity as more and more systems are "sharing". Also, make sure you have made the suggested changes to GRS for SMS.
