Eric, If JES2 is about the last thing to try and come up, but hasn't yet ... How many SPOOL volumes do you have defined to JES2? Do they exist? Is there a HASPACE dataset on each volume? Do you have at least one HASPCKPT dataset pre-allocated and cataloged? Please say again: What is the PARM='...' on your JES2 PROC and / or what is your response to the JES2 - startup message? If this is the first time you are starting JES2 on a new system, JES2 has to format the checkpoint and SPOOL datasets. That, depending on the number of SPOOL volumes, can take a while, but there should be progress messages.
Oh, one other thing: The names and volumes of the SPOOL and CKPT datasets in use by 1.9 ... are they the same or different from what your current production LPAR uses? Is there a chance that your 1.9 system is trying to access the datasets or volumes used by production JES2? You might want to check GRS for ENQ / RESERVE lockouts ...
