Yep, that was it. VM crashed (I played around too much) so the problem is solved. This machine is the center of a PNET star of the other 8 VSE machines. Manually ftping the jobs around got old, quick.
I had a count of 5. When looking at the console logs, I see that Power ran out of 24 bit space. No big deal except that I had PNET transfers from 3 other VSE machines active at that time. I'm guessing that the PNET transfers were the active I/O load when the machine was forced off. The Operator didn't correct the situation, didn't try to shutdown the machine normally, just forced it off. Just taking any partition down, would have freed up the 24 bit area and allowed things to continue. At least that is my guess.

You can't tell what did not decrement the count when it finished. I have had a few of these this past year in a 4.4.0 system. -----Original Message----- From: VM/ESA and z/VM Discussions [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Duerbusch Sent: Monday, December 19, 2005 11:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: forcing a user Great plug.
