DASDCOMP Message HHC02424E against 3380 created volume

I created a 3380 dasd volume using DASDINIT then immediately did a DASDCOMP and received message HHC02424E.

PC OS is Windows 10 and the commands issued were DASDINIT and DASDCOMP from command line. Those commands and resulting messages follow.

Hopefully that is sufficient to determine what is happening. Note that I tried variations of 3380-J -E and -K with and without specifying alternate tracks with same results.

Let me know if there is any more info you might need.

Hang in Hercules taking a Standalone Dump

David,

I am running MVS 3.8 with modifications and took a wait state 009064 (S0C4 in NIP) during IPL to a 3390 SYSRES. I have previously built a standalone dump on a 3350 (device 153) and written 4 tape marks to the output dump aws tape (a 3420 at 480). After the wait state I do a store status (STORE command) successfully. I then mount the standalone dump output tape on 480 (via a devinit). I then IPL 153 and Hercules hangs. I have done this quite a few times and did one time get a dump on 480. Don't ask what I did correctly or why it worked that one time, I don't know what I might have done differently.

Hercules Hang Doc.zip

So again here is what I did:

1. IPL 19F got disabled wait state 00020000 80090064
2. store
3. devinit 480 "\Program Files\Hercules\Tape\sad.aws" awstape
4. IPL 153
5. I get a prompt on the 3277 at 010 to which I reply
6. Instruction counter does nothing and Hercules console doesn't respond. I entered several quit commands to no avail.
7. I do a windows close (right click on ICON) and select close.

Enclosed is the Hercules log, my IPL batch file, the configuration in a zip file.

I am running the latest (I think) prebuilt Hercules-4.2.1.9826 in a DOS window.
Operating system is Windows 10 latest (build 1909).

Let me know what else you might need.
