Explanation
Where text is:
SMF {LOGICAL|PHYSICAL} I/O ERROR ON dsname
{FEEDBACK CODE=fc|errortext}
The
system found an error while writing to the System Management Facilities
(SMF) dsname data set.
Note: This message is
issued instead of IEE364I only when an installation defines a data
set name that does not use the SYS1.MANn naming
convention.
In the message text:
- dsname
- The name of the SMF recording data set.
- fc
- The VSAM feedback code for a logical error.
- errortext
- The VSAM error message text for a physical error.
System action
SMF continues processing, but does not write to
the erroneous data set. If another SMF data set is available, SMF
writes to it and issues message IEE388I. Otherwise, SMF will begin
to buffer SMF data into storage until another data set becomes available.
Operator response
Notify the System Programmer.
System programmer response
For a logical error, check the VSAM
code and fix the error. The error might be the result of an improperly
defined data set. Some physical errors are caused when an image has
crashed and the SMF MANx dataset has not been closed properly. Other
physical errors are the result of actual hardware failures. For logical
errors that cannot be attributed to actual hardware device failures,
do the following:
- If there is data from a previous IPL to be preserved and the installation
wished to preserve the SMF data, attempt to offload the dataset via
the installation's SMF offload job using program IFASMFDP. If there
is no real physical hardware issue, the offload will succeed.
- Delete and reallocate the SMF MANx dataset. Ensure no I/O errors
occurred during the reallocate of the dataset.
- Add the dataset back via the SET SMF or SETSMF command.
- If an I/O still occurs, then notify hardware support. Supply the
EREP data for the device in error.
