The ADSM/MVS problem is fixed in level 0.14/1.14 and doesn't exist in V2.
I originally reported the problem as follows:

1) Some process or processes were running, like reclamation or migration.
2) I issued the DUMP DB command to do a consistent dump of my database to
   3480 cartridge.
3) DUMP DB finished writing to the first tape, and called for the second
   tape to be mounted.
4) The second tape is mounted, but at that time all ADSM processing just
   hangs.
5) Cancelling processes doesn't resolve the problem. I had to shut down the
   server and restart.

It is not fixed in level 0.13/1.13, but 0.14/1.14.

P.S. I *strongly* recommend keeping up to date on ADSM maintenance.
