IXCH0240E
Primary couple data sets for performance-sensitive types reside on the same volume.

Explanation

CHECK(IBMXCF,XCF_CDS_SEPARATION) found an exception.

The check found that the primary couple data sets for types that should be separated reside on the same volume:
CDS Type Volser Data Set Name 
-------- ------ -------------------------------------------- 
typename1 vol1   dsn1
typename2 vol2   dsn2 
typename3 vol3   dsn3
  
Message IXCH0907I describes the complete couple data set configuration.
In the message explanation:
typename1
The type of data contained in the couple data set
vol1
The volume on which the couple data set resides
dsn1
The couple data set name
typename2
The type of data contained in the couple data set
vol2
The volume on which the couple data set resides
dsn2
The couple data set name
typename3
The type of data contained in the couple data set
vol3
The volume on which the couple data set resides
dsn3
The couple data set name

System action

The system continues processing.

Operator response

Report this problem to the system programmer.

System programmer response

For maximum performance and availability, the primary sysplex couple data set and the primary CFRM couple data set should be placed on different volumes, and the installation monitor I/O should rate to other couple data sets such as LOGR to evaluate whether they also warrant placement on separate volumes. By default, this check does not consider the LOGR couple data set in evaluating couple data set placement. If the installation requires to maintain the LOGR primary on a separate volume, update the check with the parameter 'LOGR(YES)' to require the check to consider the placement of the LOGR couple data set.
