Re: Bizarre Abnormal System End

[boothm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Dean, we had behavior similar to this on a box delivered in October 1998. 
In the end we were instructed to keep a CD in the CD-ROM drawer until a 
fix was established.  I understood that problem to be the AS/400 was 
constantly checking the CD-ROM drawer to see if there was a CD, and if 
there was no CD there would be  memory leak, causing a really ungraceful 
collapse. 

I can't believe these are the same problem, but that was our experience.

        Subject:        Bizarre Abnormal System End

Hey Folks,

We had a bizarre abnormal system end today, and I was wondering if anyone 
had 
any ideas.  Everyone was just working along on our 620 running V4R2 (one 
cum 
back from current, but several APAR's installed), when the machine just 
IPL'd 
itself!  No indication of any problem other than abnormal system end in 
either QHST or WRKPRB.  The IPL indicated that an SRC code was sent after 
an 
abnormal system end but, since the system restarted automatically, the SRC 

code wasn't seen by anyone before it cleared out.  Anybody seen this 
behavior 
before?

TIA,
