Richard,
Please keep the list posted with any updates to this subject. I, for one, am *very* interested in your PMR. As I recall this has been a nagging problem since the VM/370 days. As I update our VM systems I am taking the FORCE command away by changing its privilege class, but in the process have upset operations and others as their procedures actually call for forcing users off, instead of logging on, then logging them off. Thank you, Scott From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Schuh, Richard Sent: Wednesday, September 30, 2009 4:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: LOGOFF/FORCE PENDING We have a user in the subject state. Track shows an interesting thing. In the VMDBK display, the storage is shown to be -107373M. That's right, a whopping small negative number. Most of the rest of the VMDBK is zeros with no devices and no I/O pending. Is this a normal value for that field in these conditions? It looks like the system owes the user more storage that there is configured in the LPAR. I will have the OPERATOR take a SNAPDUMP and open an incident.
