REALLOCATE executed on System with LOSSCONN to CF and failed

After a loss of connectivity for 2 out of 14 z/OS images to a CF, the client put the problem CF in MAINTMODE and did a SETXCF REALLOCATE to clear the structures to do hardware recovery. The REALLOCATE process shifted to one of the 2 z/OS images th...
