RE: dasd utilization at 99.56%

[<lgoodbar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Once for me. Back in 1997 I did an upgrade to Software 2000 financials.
This particular process took a long time so I started on Friday night
and went home. Came in Saturday morning. System lights all dark and
powered off. Powered on. After an eternity, the disk utilization was
over 98%. Put in a call to S2K. They advised this was a known issue on
the particular upgrade. Clear some job logs and a S2K logging file, and
run the update again. Second time worked like a charm.

More recently we had a restore issue (access path rebuilds) where our
test LPAR actually hit 100%, but never powered off. It was one of those
"damn close to out" scenarios.

This really cracked me up (probably because it hasn't happened to me).

Thanks for the chuckle.
