Indeed. But to wait 20 min is way too long [0] if you have a fast and furious 
machine.

Ask the automation to issue all those D OMVS,... [1] and D A,L commands before 
you do F OMVS,SHUTDOWN.

Perhaps you can discover what is potentially draw your system down and compare 
that with your D A,L result. [2]

[0] - Have your hardware including disks checked out. From past and painful 
experience many years ago, we moved some datasets to another volser which 
eventually broke down later...

[1] - we issue about a dozen of such display of status, settings, etc. during 
and after IPL and also just before we start the process to shut down the system.

[2] - we do stop all the systems, including, LLA, VLF, DLF and NETVIEW which 
you listed. All things are stopped/cancelled, then we do D A,L for last time 
check, then after that we stop OMVS, then Z EOF and getting out of Sysplex/XCF.
