MVS/System Production (SP) was implemented on SY4 (3033UP) as the
production system on Thursday night, November 5. The system update contains
performance enhancements. It is the operating system that is required for the
new processor that will arrive later this month.
The Ruffing Center had an average week for applications availability, with
problems heavily concentrated on Thursday. GIMDEV lost 99 minutes due to paging
pack problems and incompleted I/O operations on two computer channels. RECON
lost 82 minutes, Thursday, due to faulty MVS software. The Batch system had 68
minutes of lost time, Thursday, due to a Telex disk controller problem, a tape
drive problem, and two IBM 3033 failures caused by a marginal IBM circuit
breaker. On Monday, GIMDEV lost 114 minutes due to apparent JES software
errors; a main storage fault in the IBM 168-3 was discovered that may have
contributed to the problems. Sunday evening, the Amdahl 470/V6 began
experiencing channel problems, which continued through Monday - the computer was
given to Amdahl for diagnostics and was down through Tuesday. The Special
Center had a substandard week. CAMS failed five times for a loss of three
hours, Wednesday, due to its software, a DBCC mistake, and an Amdahl memory
failure. STAR and NIPS also lost 48 minutes apiece when an Amdahl 470/V6 hung,
possibly due to a SPD software problem. Applications software hangs cost NIPS
2-1/2 hours Thursday. STAR lost an hour, Saturday, due to a Telex disk drive
problem. CAMS lost 81 minutes, Monday, due to an Amdahl 470/V6 console hang,
which was apparently cured by reseating some memory cards in the
computer
An OC/ODP Task Force did a line-by-line check ati on 9-10
November in order to isolate any device or line problems. They uncovered some
line problems and one or two device problems which are currently being
addressed. No major difficulties were encountered. Word Processing RFP
received its last comments from OL/PD and its last set of insertions. A final
draft is nearly completed. We still expect to release it on 20 November.
