Subject: Re: Dynamic PAV assigment has stopped
It was an OS problem after all, and not due to the MCLs.
APAR OA29370 has been opened.
We have been over the 65535 device boundry for a long time, but the bug
became exposed when I deleted over 5000 addresses the week before via
dynamic iogen activate. The PAV assignment code broke because of the 2
byte CMCTHMBI field. We have just been lucky for several years that the
truncated value (to fit the field) resulted in a value that was higher
than our
highest UCB. With the recent deletion of the 5000+ devices along with the
truncation, we ended up with a total number of devices being tracked that
is
less than our starting DASD UCB.
Strange though that the propblem didn't actually start until the next
weekend
when we performed a power-on-reset.
Still investigating that one...
Dave
Dave,
Please let us know if IBM is going to refund the PAV licenses you paid for
the past few months it hasn't been working.
Regards,
Tom Conley
