RE: HMC scheduled operations never start

I called them and received their typically excellent support:
There's a bug that if a scheduled operation doesn't run one time due to an 
abend, it won't run ever run again.  It was fixed in 5.1.2 but it was forgotten 
to put the fix in 5.2.1.  I'm running 5.2.1. I can upgrade to the new 5.6 or 
scratch install 5.1.2.  The work around is to reboot the HMC each time a 
scheduled operation fails.

Subject: HMC scheduled operations never start

An HMC set of scheduled operations on one LPAR, which has been working,
hasn't kicked off in the last two days.  The same operations on another
LPAR have been kicking off.  I compared the schedule details on both
LPARs and can't find anything that would cause scheduled operations on
the one LPAR to not start.

The operations are dynamic reconfiguration of our tape IOA and IOP from
one LPAR to the other.  It's very clear from  the console events that
these operations are not starting on one LPAR.  What's the next
troubleshooting step?
