IOS204E
START PROCESSORS STOPPED FOR MESSAGE {IOS062E | IOS063E}— RESERVES {INTACT | LOST}

Explanation

The system recovered from the error that appeared in message IOS063E, (or IOS062E) which told the operator to stop the processors that share devices with this system. The system issues this message when channel path recovery is complete.

If this message cannot be issued successfully via an asynchronous WTO request, then message IOS201E will be issued via disabled console communication (DCCF) processing.

In the message text:
RESERVES INTACT
Indicates that all reserved devices were successfully recovered
RESERVES LOST
Indicates that one or more devices reserved for this system were forced offline

System action

The system has completed channel path recovery.

When the operator replies to message IOS204E, the system might issue one or more additional messages either to indicate which devices are no longer reserved to this system or to indicate which channel paths were successfully recovered.

In addition, the system may abend the jobs using boxed devices.

Operator response

Do the following:
  1. Isolate the failing channel path for repair.
  2. Identify and recover failing tasks.
  3. If RESERVES INTACT appears in the message text, do the following:
    1. Enter the IOACTION RESUME command for the device on all other sharing systems if the device was stopped, or restart any stopped systems, or vary the device back online. Start the stopped processors by pressing the START key at the system console of each sharing system or logical partition.
    2. Restart the system that detected the stopped processor.
  4. If RESERVES LOST appears in the message text, do the following:
    1. Enter the IOACTION RESUME command for the device on all other sharing systems if the device was stopped, or restart any stopped systems, or vary the device back online. Start the stopped processor by pressing the START key at the system console of each sharing system or logical partition.
    2. Restart the system that detected the stopped processor.
    3. Notify the system programmer.
