Re: Problem with 9406-170 shutting down

Good luck with getting maintenance started on a machine that's 1) broken
and 2) not current.  Be your best financial bet to talk to a used vendor
or do an IBM pay-per-hour call.  

Besides, IBM will have to certify it as working perfectly before it'll
get restarted on maintenance - and right now, unfortunately it doesn't
sound like it'll pass that test.  Plus the concurrency fees... ouch.
Best to get a used 170 and do a unload/reload.

Then I would get hardware maintenance .. if the supported application isn't
worth this expense I would not think it is really necessary to keep running.
