Re: Server Hung

I assume that this is a BRMS version of GO SAVE 21, right? Otherwise, why
would you need restricted state?

Anyway, can you find the joblog that brings it out of restricted state and
see if there's any abnormality?

Just as a matter of habit whenever I go into restricted state I always IPL
to get out of it. However I believe that a STRSBS SBS(see value of system
value QCTLSBSD) should also work to get your system out of restricted
state. If you have an HMC you should also have a console on there,
(unless, for some silly reason you still use twinax as a console). That
device should have been able to do a STRSBS.

Sample: On a system with QCTLSBSD set to QCTL you do an ENDSBS *ALL
*CNTRLD DELAY(120). After the two minutes (and change) your system is in
restricted state. You do a WRKACTJOB and you will see QCTL with a status
of END and your system console job will be in there. END basically means
that no new job (other than the system console job) will start. Now, you
do a STRSBS QCTL and it brings it out of END state and runs any autostart
job entries associated with that subsystem. One of these will be the job
QSTRUPJD. This utilizes system value QSTRUPPGM to start your system up.

Find that joblog.
