I think that products such as abend aid get control only when an abdump
occurs.
z/OS is configured not to take an abdump on a cancel unless you ask for
one.
This is accomplished via the SLIP trap
SLIP SET,C=222,ID=X222,A=NODUMP,END
within IEASLP00.
CANCEL with DUMP results in completion cod
I'm a huge fan of thin interrupts, which (it turns out) we depend totally on to
power our sandbox sysplex. However, we turn on thin interrupts on both sides of
the share: sandbox and production. In the prospective case (single CEC only),
the 'other side' of the share would be MVS, which has no n
Many years ago I had friends in old DEC building in Maynard, MA. They had story
of periodic head crashes on monster disk drives with vertically spinning
platters. They realized cause: trucks backing into loading dock hitting and
shaking the building -- since platters were oriented perpendicular

Interesting story! The only time I've actually seen a head crash was on
an old 3330 where I had just popped in a RES pack. I walked over to the
hardware console to IPL - the old 3270 where you had to type L1/A2 or
whatever those commands were. The hardware console told me I had an I/O
error,
Legendary--possibly apocryphal--story of the of the 3330 pack that got warped
enough to ruin heads but did not itself disintegrate. Over zealous operator
moved the pack from one drive to another looking for an operable one. Until
they were all dead. True or not, nobody misses those days.

I would recommend that you check for OpenSSH CVEs in the IBM Z Systems
Security Portal, and if not covered then open a PMR.
Sadly, security departments don't always consider that there are very often
workarounds for OpenSSH CVEs or reasons that they don't apply to your
installation.
For example, c
Watched it happen. One of our experienced operators heard a high sounding
screech come from a 2314 disk drive. He spun-down two drives, moved the bad
drive to the working drive, and tried again. Ended up literally scratching 3
of our 5 2314 drives. Nice long curved scar on the top surface, h
