HCP902W System recovery failure; fatal I/O error

Explanation

During system initialization, an unrecoverable input/output error occurred on the volume containing checkpoint data.

On a second-level system, this could occur if the checkpoint or warm start volume is a minidisk, and you have defined the SYSCKP or SYSWRM area on cylinders or pages that do not exist on the minidisk.

System action

The system enters a disabled wait state (wait state code = 902).

Operator response

Re-IPL the system. If the error recurs, move the failing volume, if possible, to another drive and retry the IPL.

The volume containing the checkpoint data is defined on the SYSCKP parameter of the SYSRES macro in HCPSYS.

The volume containing the warmstart data is defined on the SYSWRM parameter of the SYSRES macro.

If this is a second-level system, enter QUERY VIRTUAL vdev for the checkpoint and warm start devices. Verify that the SYSWRM and SYSCKP cylinders or pages exist on the device, and change them if necessary.

If the problem persists, take a stand-alone dump and contact your IBM Support Center personnel for assistance.
