When the structure does not have a policy change pending, the check uses
the preference list from the active policy (ACTIVE). When the structure
has a policy change pending, the check uses the preference list from
the pending policy (PENDING).
An asterisk (*) before the coupling facility name from the preference
list indicates that the coupling facility is not usable for structure
allocation.
NOTE: When the check is run in verbose mode, all defined structures are
listed. The structures that do not have an availability problem are
listed after any that have an availability problem.

CHECK(IBMXCF,XCF_CF_STR_AVAILABILITY) found CF structure(s) with a preference list that could limit availability of the structure.
A structure's preference list should have at least two coupling facilities located in different CECs with each usable for structure allocation. To be usable for structure allocation, the coupling facility must have at least one system connected and have allocation permitted.
The check writes the list to the message buffer when an exception is discovered (see message IXCH0212E) or when the check is run in verbose mode. When the check is run in verbose mode, all structures defined in the CFRM active policy are listed.The structures without an availability problem are listedafter any that currently have an availability problem.
Exception message IXCH0212E follows in the message buffer when the check finds structures with availability problem.
The system continues processing.
