Just curious: why a POR? -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave Butts Sent: Wednesday, June 10, 2009 3:07 PM To: [email protected] 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...
