APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
If WebSphere Application Server is configured with multiple servants (minimum servants greater than 1), this is also the number of servants that is started in recovery mode. It is unnecessary to have more than 1 servant region during recovery mode restart. This (depending on minSRs setting) could greatly increase the amount of CPU time and elapsed time required to start the server in recovery mode, clean up the resources and shutdown. This apar will provide a fix to start only 1 servant regardless of specified min/max value when server is restarted in recovery mode.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V7.0, V8.0, and V8.5 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebSphere Application Server for * * z/OS when started in recovery mode * * honors the wlm_minimumSRCount * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** A server started in recovery mode will start the mininum number of configured Servants (based on wlm_minimumSRCount). This will cause unnessary consumption of CPU and delays in recycling the server. The additional Servants are not needed to perform the recovery actions.
Problem conclusion
Code was modified to not honor the setting of wlm_minimumSRCount if the server is started in recovery mode. APAR PM74563 is currently targeted for inclusion in Fix Packs 7.0.0.29, 8.0.0.6, and 8.5.0.2 of WebSphere Application Server.
