Explanation: The Service Processor has malfunctioned and MVS cannot communicate with it. Certain MVS functions are inoperative, including CONFIG, some D M, and some operator-communication facilities. Hardware error logging is also inoperative. MVS might remain functional for an indeterminate period of time, but an attempt to use any of the above functions or any other functions that use the Service Processor can result in a system hang or outage. System Action: The operating system continues running in degraded mode to allow for an orderly shutdown.

IBM is a large corporation. Different factions have been captivated by marketing pressures since the beginning. The RD side has always been more forth coming. For a number of years IBM-Main was accessible via INFO-Access under hardware. It was a mirror of BAMA.UA.EDU and for me was great way to keep all the stuff tied together on a 3270/AT. Then one day it quit! No announcement or anything just DOA. We had SE's back then and I asked him what was the problem. Lots of gibberish about the Almaden server being overloaded and nobody knew listserv...yada, yada, yada. Anyway, lots of hops and bops.
