We use one of the MP3000 Emulator Sessions for the Z/VM 4.4 console. This
morning, during a scheduled IPL, the operator entered SHUTDOWN REIPL on
this console. VM shutdown but no other messages appeared on the console
which was my 4 AM wakeup call. After several attempts over the phone, I
came to work where I treid several other things : Closed the sessions &
restarted them; entered a LOADPARM of E20 (the console address); did a
POWER ON RESET; even rebooted OS/2. All to no avail. I then entered a
LOADPARM of 01D (an address I had defined to OS/2 TCP/IP as an non-SNA
device to be used for a console). VM started coming up. During the start
up I noticed a message about an invalid comment in the SYSTEM CONFIG at
line xxx. Once VM was up I checked the SYSTEM CONFIG and sure enough,
there was a "/*" on that line without a "*/". I corrected this and IPL'ed
again from 01D - no error. I then IPL'ed without any LOADPARM and VM came
up on Address E20. Has anyone else had a similar problem or was the
errant "/*" really the problem ? I'm really at a loss to explain this so
any help will be appreciated.
