Re: Telnet server hanging?

We just had this issue happen about a week ago in one of our V5R4 development systems. IBM has recommended to apply SI47009 and MF55748 ASAP to any V5R4 system in our environment, we applied to dev last weekend, going to one prod system this weekend and another prod system the weekend after.
 
Hope this helps.

I have seen it a couple of times and the only way to fix it was an
IPL. It was on a V5R4 system. You could try ENDJOBABN if it happens
again but it wasn't successful for me.

I still don't know why it happened. No logs anywhere indicated there
was a problem. IBM wasn't much help because the system was so down
level.

I just had to warm-IPL our V4R4 box, after the Telnet server hung.

Yesterday afternoon, it was very difficult to get a Telnet session on
the box; this morning, it was impossible. When I signed on from a Twinax
terminal, I found that my last session from yesterday, which should have
been long-gone, was still showing up as signed on.

The associated Telnet server job wouldn't go away, not with an ENDJOB
*IMMED; not with an ENDSBS *ALL *IMMED; even after that, the server job
and its subsystem just sat there indefinitely with a status of END, and
no "restricted condition" message in the QSYSOPR queue.

After a quick STRSST, to verify that I didn't have any crashed drives, I
finally did a GO POWER, option 4, and everything was happy when it came
back up. But I'm still puzzled.

Has anybody else seen this sort of thing happen?
