Kees.
I guess I am missing something. Unless the CF's are being recycled, there are
no structures to be (re)built. And even so, all lpars should be using the same
policy, not even sure NOT using the same policy is an option.
From a pure technical perspective, order should not matter, assuming you
Well, there are structures with a disposition of delete, which will be
recreated by the first connect to them. But indeed, there should be no reason
why one lpar can better create them than another.

I am finally getting around to modifying our IEFUSI exit to do something
sensible with MEMLIMIT as more tasks exploit 64-bit storage. This exit has lain
untouched for many many years, although it still functions correctly for the
things it is supposed to do with region size.
However,
Just a thought. Is there a sample of this exit in your sys1.sample dataset?
It might have more current info.

I am aware of 3 ways to solve this problem.
(1) - Ignore the error because these zfs's don't have anything to do with V1R13
