Is it possible that you forgot to ICKDSF format your paging areas? You
can get all kinds of strange errors when the paging areas are not
initialized to zeroed 4k blocks.

Hi, list. We are experiencing some problems with unpredictable and so
far
inevitable system shutdowns for aparently unknown reasons.
- We are running 4 SLES9 Linux images under z/VM 5.2
- If we keep only 3 images, this problem doesn't seem to appear. It
has
happened only with 4 images running at once.
- OPERATOR 191 console registers suddenly (but it can be like this for
HOURS) the following message:
xx:yy:zz HCPPAW415E Six continuous paging errors have occurred
on
DASD 02D5 volume 520PG1.
(this message appears some 25-30 times per second)
- Disk 2D5 has been hardware-checked successfully, so it has no
hardware
errors.
- Latest RSU has been applied by IBM-advise. This is our level:
q cplevel
z/VM Version 5 Release 2.0, service level 0702 (64-bit)
Generated at 12/21/07 19:33:42 MAI
IPL at 01/04/08 11:46:43 MAI
Ready;
q cmslevel
CMS Level 22, Service Level 702
Ready;
- These were some system indicators at the time of the latest shutdown:

- So it shows neither PAGE nor SPOOL bottleneck. CPU values are also
acceptably low.
- We have 8 GB total RAM in this LPAR.
- Our Linux RAM definitions are:
USER LINUX1 LINUX1 3G 3G BG
USER LINUX2 LINUX2 2560M 2560M BG
USER LINUX3 LINUX3 2560M 2560M BG
USER LINUX4 LINUX4 256M 256M BG
- Aparently no great usage of system resources was being done at the
time of
shutdown (see above).
Any help will be extremely welcome !!
