A structure was allocated in a coupling facility with an actual allocation size that may exceed the size specifications requested by the CFRM active policy definitions at the time of structure allocation. The actual allocation size is compared to the policy INITSIZE if specified or the policy size if INITSIZE is not specified. The size discrepancy may result from structure allocation "by counts" which allocates the structure with the desired counts of structure objects (entries, data elements, EMCs), regardless of the resulting structure size. Another example of a size discrepancy results when the IXLCONN STRSIZE specified is greater than the specified policy INITSIZE.
System processing continues. The system writes the message to the hardcopy log.
If the allocation size of the structure exceeds CFRM policy definitions, consider whether it is necessary to update the CFRM policy to increase the requested structure size to the actual allocated structure size as indicated by this message.
A structure allocated with support for storage-class memory may be allocated with a structure size that exceeds CFRM policy definitions in order to avoid an INVALID TARGET STRUCTURE COUNTS condition. Only system-managed rebuild allocation may be able to avoid that condition. Consider using the CF Sizer tool, available on the Parallel Sysplex website http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/z/cfsizer, for help in determining structure SIZE, INITSIZE, and SCMMAXSIZE attributes.
If the structure has increased in size as a result of rebuilding or duplexing the structure into a CF at a different (higher) CFLEVEL than the one in which the original structure is allocated, and you intend to continue to use the higher CFLEVEL in the future, update the CFRM policy size definitions to be in line with the allocated structure size indicated by this message. Failure to do so might result in the structure being allocated with an inadequate structure size, or possibly not being allocatable at all, when the structure is initially allocated in the future. This might result in system, subsystem, or application outages.
If the structure has increased in size when rebuilding or duplexing the structure into a CF at the same CFLEVEL in which the original structure is allocated, there may be no need to update the CFRM policy definitions to reflect the larger allocated structure size indicated by this message.
Similarly, when the structure has been allocated larger than the policy INITSIZE value because the structure exploiter has requested a larger IXLCONN STRSIZE value, there is no need to update the CFRM policy definitions to reflect any size-related changes.
Ensure that the increased CF storage allocation for the structure can be accommodated not only within the current CF, but also in any other CF images in which the structure is eligible to be allocated.
