Issue/Introduction
During the IPL from one of your lpar, CAVARSRV generated the following S378 abend when it started:
DUMPID=001 REQUESTED BY JOB (CAVARSRV) DUMP TITLE=CAMASTER ........ @ ********; ABEND S378 Rsn=000000 14 at IEANUC01.IGVVSERR+0E26; Issuer=CAVARSRV IEF196I IEA995I SYMPTOM DUMP OUTPUT IEF196I SYSTEM COMPLETION CODE=378 REASON CODE=00000014 IEF196I TIME=03.08.01 SEQ=00006 CPU=0000 ASID=0029 IEF196I PSW AT TIME OF ERROR 070C1000 816897A6 ILC 2 INTC 0D IEF196I NO ACTIVE MODULE FOUND IEF196I NAME=UNKNOWN
Why do I have a S378-14 abend issued by CAVARSRV at IPL time?

Resolution
This came down to a timing issue.
It is possible for us to load a TCB address to use in a STORAGE RELEASE after we have overwritten it with a different TCB address elsewhere.
If this happens, the abend results from releasing storage at an address that doesn’t belong to the TCB specified.
This probably doesn’t occur consistently and shouldn’t affect the functionality of the product when it does occur.
Apply the PTF RO97503 “ABEND S378-14 CAMSTSRV/CAVARSRV AT IPL”
