IXCH0220E
The number of coupling facilities available to all active systems in the sysplex does not meet the required minimum.

Explanation

CHECK(IBMXCF,XCF_CF_SYSPLEX_CONNECTIVITY) found an exception.

The number of coupling facilities in the CFRM active policy that have connectivity to all active systems in the sysplex is ctdcfs - the parameter requires at least mincfs. IXCH0908I and IXCH0909I have been placed in the message buffer to indicate the coupling facilities in the CFRM active policy and the systems that do not have connectivity to those coupling facilities.

See accompanying messages IXCH0908I and IXCH0909I for more information.

When running in a parallel sysplex environment, hardware redundancy should be provided for coupling facilities.

In the message explanation:
ctdcfs
Resolves to the number of coupling facilities in the CFRM active policy that are connected to all active systems in the sysplex.
parameter
Resolves to 'owner' or 'installation' to indicate whether the default PARMS from the HZSADDCHECK exit routine are in effect, or user overrides are in effect.
mincfs
Resolves to the MINCFS value from the check PARMS.

System action

The system continues processing.

Operator response

Report this problem to the system programmer.

System programmer response

Determine why the required number of coupling facilities are not available to all active systems in the sysplex, and take appropriate action. There might be a problem with a coupling facility definition in the active CFRM policy, a coupling facility, or a system's connectivity to a coupling facility.

Problem determination

See IXCH0908I and IXCH0909I in the message buffer that identify the active systems in the sysplex and the coupling facilities in the sysplex (with information about their connectivity to the active systems).

On systems that are not connected to a coupling facility, CHECK(IBMXCF,XCF_CF_CONNECTIVITY) provides additional information through message IXCH0448E.
