ISG178E
GLOBAL RESOURCE SERIALIZATION HAS BEEN DISRUPTED. GLOBAL RESOURCE REQUESTORS WILL BE SUSPENDED.

Explanation

The global resource serialization ring is disrupted. Possible reasons are:
  • An operator stopped one of the active global resource serialization systems.
  • An active global resource serialization system was removed from the sysplex.
  • A system in the global resource serialization ring is responding slowly, possibly because it is issuing an SVC dump.
  • Communication loss exists between systems in the sysplex.
  • A software error occurred in global resource serialization processing on one of the global resource serialization systems.
  • An error occurred in the cross-system coupling facility (XCF) services that global resource serialization used to communicate between systems in the sysplex.

System action

All active global resource serialization systems, including this one, become inactive to global resource serialization. All the inactive systems suspend any task that attempts to obtain global resources. If a software error occurred on one of the global resource serialization systems, the system may issue message ISG177E to the system log (SYSLOG) of that system.

The inactive global resource serialization systems will rebuild the global resource serialization ring.

Operator response

If any of the systems that were in the ring do not become active global resource serialization systems when the ring is rebuilt, notify the system programmer.
