Re: Damaged object - QSZPAVLI ?

Yes, I didn't step back far enough like Philipp did to speculate on why
your 400 is going down.
These has been much discussion in Midrange-L (check archives) on 9910-xxx
UPS (made by Best Power for IBM).
Also check here:        http://www.bestpower.com/service_support/ibmalert/
I believe a possible temporary circumvention of the UPS problem MAY be to
ensure the 400 is plugged into one of the bottom two power outlets, not
one of the top two.

Hello Jim,

you don't have a Best UPS 9910-xxx on that system ?
The same thing happened to me twice with one of the 9910
boxes attached to a 170, it just powered off without any
warning and afterwards that QSZPAVLI object was damaged
but rebuilt at IPL time as Neil said.
What really surprised me was the fact that the system shut
down that fast ... almost instantly, although we felt safe with
our UPS, woops, boom, aus und kaputt !
Reason for this happening was a glitch in the firmware of those
9910 boxes, they have a fix for it, but you need a special cable
to connect to connect to their terminal interface  :-(

HTH, regards from germany, Philipp Rusch
