An update: Answers all at V7. There are corresponding PTFs at V6. Nothing at V5.

The cause of the problem was an error communicating with the console when the system is HMC managed. The system never made it into a restricted state because the console was not responding correctly. Good news is there is a PTF for that: MF56123. Small PTF no sweat..... Until......

I was wrong about the pre-requisites. It requires MF99005 to be permanently applied. For those of you who don't recognize it that's Technology Refresh 5. That does require an IPL.

After the PTF, with some limited testing it looks to have corrected the problem. We shall see over the weekend.

It looks like a PTF is needed at the V6 and V7 levels when the system is controlled by an HMC. There is some code in LIC that does not handle the call between the HMC 5250 and the LIC properly and the console is what hangs up. I am downloading the PTF now ( looks to be really small with no co/pre requisites ) and I'll give it a try.
