If it's too long to write here could you direct me to the right documentation?
I believe your problem is related to how you do (or don't) shut down VM. If the warm start data is not saved, then you will get both a TOD and SPOOL question at the next IPL.

If you have an OPERATOR console open on say 010, enter the command "CP SHUTDOWN" and press enter.
If you don't, then look for your Hercules console, and enter "/CP SHUTDOWN" and press enter.

In either case enter the following in the Hercules console. This isn't absolutely necessary, but the MVS guys do it and it doesn't hurt to do it for VM.

STOPALL
SYSCLEAR
QUIT

Let me know if this is unclear, or doesn't help.
