Recovering the SMS address space

z/OS DFSMSdfp Storage Administration
SC23-6860-01

If the SMS address space fails, SMS automatically attempts to restart up to six times. If SMS fails to recover its address space after the sixth restart, you have two options:

  1. You can end the SMS address space and then restart SMS using the T SMS=xx command. If you have cross memory interactions, users’ address spaces wait for the SMS address space to restart. After the sixth automatic restart, SMS displays a message requesting the user to select the next action; retry another restart or terminate the SMS address space. This relates to the SMS address space and not the user's address space.
  2. You can allow SMS to attempt another restart by replying "YES" to the system-generated message:
