RE: QHNAPRST could not be ended to a restricted state

Thanks for the info Rob! I'll be sure to take a look at that tonight.

We have an hmc but we haven't hide the time to really take advantage of it.
The only time we use it is for our monthly option 21. Other than that it
stays locked inside the box.

Thanks again!

I saw this V5R3 incident summary.
Reference #:
86256EEF0044A80A

Problem Summary:
In V5R3 of IBM i5/OS, there is a new Exit Point called
QIBM_QWC_PRERESTRICT and an IBM-supplied Exit Program QSYS/QHNAPRST. This
program ensures that the system is in a state to be put into restricted
state. If those requisites are not met, message CPF18C3 is posted.

Resolution:
Display the interactive joblog that issued the ENDSBS *ALL command, and
the messages are posted that indicates what the problem is. Correct the
issue, based on the message recovery, and submit the ENDSBS *ALL command
again.

Recommend a DSPJOBLOG OUTPUT(*PRINT) next time this happens.

You're not using twinax for a console are you (shudder)?
