z/OS 1.4 is no longer in service. The oldest supported release is z/OS 
1.7; end of service for that release is scheduled for this September.

Subject: Red Alert: OA24741 Sysplex-wide impact due to loop in GRS on
z/OS 1.9 and higher

Sysplex-wide impact due to loop in GRS on z/OS 1.9 and higher 
 
In z/OS 1.9 GRS recovery for GQSCAN retries with incorrect registers.
This can result in an ABEND0A0 followed by repetitive ABEND0C6 or
ABEND0C4 in ISGQNX. 

As a result of the program check loop in ISGQNX's recovery no GRS work
is able to run on the failing system. This may cause sysplex-wide impact
for the following reasons: 
- Global resources held by the failing system cannot be released causing
tasks that request the resources on other systems to wait.
- If the failing system is a GRS Lock Manager, other systems may not be
able to complete their XES requests.
- Global GQSCANs may time out.
- Global TEST ENQs cannot be processed.
- No list ENQ requests can be processed on other systems if the failing
system is holding the GRS list lock.


Symptoms may also include:
- High CPU usage in GRS and *MASTER* on the failing system.
- Message ISG361I indicating delays on other systems in the Sysplex.
- D GRS, C is unable to complete on the problem system and Message
ISG343I only returns local resource data on other systems.


Please see APAR OA24741 for further details. 

Recommended Actions: 
- Apply the PTFs for OA24741

Not true.

PTF List: 
Release 740   : UA40682 available 08/05/07 (1000 )
Release 750   : PTF not available yet 

UA40682 is the z/OS 1.9 level fix.  The other PTF listed is the one for z/OS 
1.10.
