PI93490: THE Z/OS STOP COMMAND DOES NOT STOP ALL FAILOVER INSTANCES, CONTRARY TO THE DOCUMENTATION.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a z/OS STOP command is issued to the Active instance in a
  FailOver configuration, the Active and all the Hot-Standby
  instances should terminate.  Instead, one of the Hot-Standby
  instances is being elevated to the Active role, and the other
  Hot-Standby instances remain in their current roles.
  

Local fix

• Use the z/OS console MODIFY ...,SHUTDOWN,IMMED command instead.

  before proceeding to shut down the Active instance.
