Re: v6r1 sav stuck - no error msg -- MIDRANGE-L

Rob,

I read through all the docs you listed (appreciate the detail).
If I'm reading it right, in the last doc, IBM has issued ptf SI35204 (and already been superceded w/SI37176) which for GO SAVE 21-23, & 40 and same for GO RESTORE 21-23, 40 and GO LICPGM 40..does the ENDTCPSVR, ENDHOSTSVR, ENDTCP with the delays before the ENDSBS *ALL.
The ptfs in the latest cume.
This should solve our issue which was from SAVE 21.

IBM recommends that you do an ENDTCP prior to running ENDSBS *ALL to get
into restricted state. And waiting 10 minutes in between (see links below
for more details). Otherwise you can get the message in QSYSOPR that
system is ended to restricted state and it NOT be. And TCP may be rather
messed up. Been there, done that. This started in 6.1 I believe.

Read the following links:

There was a bug in V6R1 with some of the TCP/IP servers not ending. I
think
it was *Eclipse and *IBMHELP, so IBM came out with a PTF, because when
these
servers didn't end (even going into a restricted state) there were locks
that the SAV couldn't handle, and objects not getting backed up.

This was fixed in a PTF, and not sure if it is one and the same. Get the
latest cumulative, Hipers, and Backup/Recovery groups on your machine.

Subject: v6r1 sav stuck - no error msg

We have had mult times the SAV gets stuck.
This is a V6r1 (not r1.1) with internal Ultrium drive.
No error msg.
IBM has replaced drive last week.
Today same issue - Save System gets stuck in SAV.
Ops noticed it is in same are of "saved xx,xxx"...
No error msg - just goes to sleep.
so I am thinking maybe damaged object and preparing to rclstg.
Power light still on for drive.
Note: we used to think this was user w/Word and an open doc
in their ifs /home directory.
This was save system before applying latest cume.
This is SAV without save active.
Anyone else have this issue?
