THE STP FACILITY IS NOT AVAILABLE

2012-03-07 Thread George Mitjans
We lost power and the STP feature got disabled.  Can this be fixed through the 
HMC sysplex timer, without bringing the system down???

Hi,
My latest book on the Z9 is
Support Element Operations Guide SC28-6845-01
Pg 5-47 has a bit more on HSA sizing.

Re: HSA estimation question.






Hi,

I've been looking for information in the SG24-4037-01, but it only
appears how to configure the factor % of HSA increment for dynamic
configuration, but not to estimate how much memory is needed for n
quantity of DASD devices. My question is just to know how much HSA i
need for 32 Escon chans, 14 2105 Control Units and 3584 3390-3 volumes 2
Lpars. remember the machine is IBM 2064 1C3 with only 2Gb. 

Best regards,
Enrique.

z9BC power sequence instructions?






I'll be looking, but I thought that I'd ask here as well to perhaps save 
some time. Is there any documentation around on how to properly power down 
and power up an z9BC system? I think that this must be done via the 
Service Element in the box. Any "screen shots" in such documentation would 
be wonderful.

Thanks.

How timely.  We ran into a very similar situation a few weeks ago.
$HASP9211.  No $HASP9207, but that would be a matter of timing.
This was on  special-purpose LPAR that does nothing but providing
support for DASD mirroring - GDPS under zSA under NetView.   Since
no production or test work runs there we have not done tuning 
that would normally be done on "real" LPARs. 

Whether purposefully or not, some XRC-related address spaces
were given very favorable priority.  (I don't know WLM so can't
provide the particulars, but these were above JES.)  One went
into a tight loop.  JES was getting no cycles.  JES was not processing
any operator commands.  Jobs and STCs needing JES for input or 
output were hung.  CANCEL commands had no obvious effects.
Even FORCE had no obvious effect (although I suspect that if we
had FORDEd the offending address space out of the system 
everything would have suddenly started working).

The only clue to the cause was from the system trace in an SVCDUMP
(of SMF, I think) that was taken sometime durig the hang.

Re: *$HASP9211 JES2 MAIN TASK NOT RUNNING

Hi Lizette;
I looked at the log and did not see any JES2 commands issued.  The syslog 
stopped recording shortly after the messages.
No SVC dump produced.
Thanks

Re: *$HASP9211 JES2 MAIN TASK NOT RUNNING






Do you know if any JES2 commands were issued about 1 minute prior to JES2 
producing the $HASP9211 message?  You might look through syslog to see. Or 
was an SVC Dump produced during this time?  Have you looked at RMF Mon III 
to see what JES2 was doing at the time?


The $HASP9211 message states:

JES2 issues this message in response to a $JDJES or a $JDSTATUS monitor

command or as a highlighted message. Based on context, this message can

indicate an alert or an incident JES2 is tracking. This message is issued  
 
when the JES2 main task has been waiting at its normal wait for the  
duration specified. There are indicators that the main task does have work 
 
to do and should be running, but it is not.  

System Action:  If the condition persists, JES2 reissues this message  
every 30 seconds with updated information.  
  
Operator Response:  Monitor alerts indicate potential reasons why JES2 is  

not functioning properly. If this condition persists, notify your system  
programmer.  
  
System Programmer Response:  JES2's main task might not be running because 
 
of improper tuning of MVS parameters or because of a problem in the JES2  
address space. If the condition persists, investigate tuning and  
operational considerations first. For example, consider if online  
applications have been tuned to run before JES2 (not a recommended  
practice), or if the operator has issued a command that requires heavy use 

of system resources.

Re: *$HASP9211 JES2 MAIN TASK NOT RUNNING






There is one additional even more severe command when all other efforts
fail. It appears from the symptoms that the JES2 main task was indeed
broken so badly that it could not process any commands at all. Adding the
keyword FORCE is supposed to whack JES2 at the OS level using LPA resident
code. Note the special syntax restriction; normal command parsing is not 
in
effect here because JES2 is brain dead. Of course, recovering from this
situation is still very iffy. From the Commands manual:


"If you enter the FORCE parameter without first attempting a $P JES2,ABEND
command, JES2 issues the $HASP553 message and ignores the command until 
you
try the ABEND option. Specifying the FORCE parameter can cause
unpredictable results.

"Note: The $PJES2,ABEND,FORCE command must be specified as a string of
characters. Blanks are not permitted within either the command verb or the
individual parameters of the command."
