Explanation
The system detected hot I/O on a device. The last
interruption for the device was over the specified channel path.
In
the message text:
- devn
- The device number. The device number is prefixed by the subchannel
set identifier when appropriate.
- chp
- The channel path identifier (CHPID).
- aaaaaaaa
- The status collection data control block (SCD) address.
- nnn
- The number of devices with hot I/O on the specified channel path.
System action
The system issues message IOS205A to wait for
the operator reply. Once replied to, messages IOS117A and IOS205A
are deleted using the DOM macro, and processing continues. If
the IOS117A/IOS205A message combination is not replied to within 5
minutes, message IOS110D is issued via disabled console communication
(DCCF) processing.
The system leaves the device with its status
pending. This prevents the device from presenting any additional
interruptions until further operator action.
Depending on the
operator reply to this message, the system does one of the following:
- Response
- Action
- NONE
- The system simulates an interruption. The system clears the pending
status. The system continues processing. The device remains online.
- DEV
- The system boxes the device, as follows:
- The system ends I/O on the device.
- New I/O requests result in permanent I/O errors.
- The system performs no new allocations for the device.
- If the device was online, the system marks it pending
offline. A pending offline device goes offline when the following
conditions occur in this order:
- The device is no longer allocated to any job.
- Allocation processing allocates any device in the system.
- If the device was offline, it remains offline.
- CU
- The system boxes the devices specified in the reply. The system
leaves the devices specified in the reply status pending.
- CU,K
- The system tries to recover the control unit. If recovery is
successful, the system:
- Issues message IOS208I
- Leaves the device paths online for all devices on the
same control unit
- Clears the pending status of the cleared device
If recovery is not successful, the system issues message IOS207I. This
response is only valid if CU,K is displayed in the message text as
a valid response.
Only devices connected to the control unit
of the same device will be affected by recovery.
- CHP,K
- The system attempts to recover the channel path. If channel path
recovery is successful, the system:
- Issues message IOS203I
- Leaves the channel path online
- Clears the pending status of the cleared device
If channel path recovery is not successful, the system issues
message IOS202E. The system forces the channel path offline. Note: If
the user indicated to box devices via the HOTIO BOX_LP option in the
IECIOSxx parmlib member, the device may become boxed instead of undergoing
channel path recovery processing.
- CHP,F
- The system forces the channel path offline. The system issues
message IOS202E.
