Hi Tom, I think Peter misinterpreted your question because you provided too much information.

I think you are asking the academic question if there is a time when RTM is disabled or inactive. Or if you can encounter a situation where RTM is disabled or inactive. Maybe you can form your question in terms of RTM behavior that you want to understand. To clarify LPAR DISABLED WAIT state, I believe it's part of RTM. While it's a drastic form of recovery, the LPAR should never be left running random instructions. My point was that I believe that RTM always provides some sort of recovery even if the recovery is not actual recovery. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
