Explanation
The request to start an XCF signalling path was
not successful.
During XCF initialization, message
IXC305I may or may not be displayed on an operator console when a
CTC device cannot be started as a signalling path.
- The message is not displayed on an operator console the first
time XCF initialization runs during an IPL.
- If XCF initialization is to be restarted for an issue not related
to signalling connectivity problems, the message is not displayed
on an operator console.
- If XCF initialization is to be restarted for an issue related
to signalling connectivity, message IXC207A prompts the operator to
respecify the COUPLExx parmlib member. The response to message IXC207A
determines whether message IXC305I is displayed on an operator console.
If the same COUPLExx parmlib member is specified, message IXC305I
will be displayed. If a different COUPLExx parmlib member is specified,
message IXC305I will not be displayed on the operator console, but
IXC305I will always be displayed on the hardcopy log.
In the message text:
- SETXCF START
- An operator entered a SETXCF START path command.
- START
- The system initiated a start path request in response to some
event or circumstance. System initiated start requests do not cause
paths to become defined to XCF for signalling, but are otherwise functionally
equivalent to SETXCF START path commands entered by an operator.
- dir
- The path direction specified for the unsuccessful start request.
An inbound signalling path is used to receive signals from another
system in the sysplex. An outbound signalling path is used to send
signals to another system in the sysplex.
- PATHIN
- Indicates the path was to be started for inbound signal traffic.
- PATHOUT
- Indicates the path was to be started for outbound signal traffic.
- PATH
- Indicates the path direction was not specified or could not be
determined. For system initiated requests, the existing XCF path definition
was to be used to determine the direction(s) in which to start the
path.
- pathname
- The name of the signalling path.
- DEVICE dev
- Indicates the CTC device with device number dev.
- STRUCTURE strname
- Indicates the XES list structure whose name is strname.
A list structure can contain one or more individual list signalling
paths.
- STRUCTURE strname LIST num TO
COMMUNICATE WITH SYSTEM sysname
- Indicates the list signalling path using list number num within
the XES list structure named strname to communicate
with the system named sysname. The list number
is zero if the path was not yet assigned a list within the structure,
or if the initiator of the request could not determine which list
was assigned for the path.
- UNABLE TO ALLOCATE DEVICE
- XCF was unable to allocate a device, probably because it is allocated
to another component, such as global resource serialization, JES3,
or Virtual Telecommunications Access Method (VTAM®). XCF will not use a device that is already
allocated.
- INVALID DEVICE NUMBER
- The device number in the message text is not defined to the system.
- DEVICE IS NOT A CTC ADAPTER
- The unit type for the device is not a channel to channel (CTC)
adapter. The unit type must be a CTC adapter in order for XCF to
use the device as a signalling path.
- STOP IS REQUESTED
- A stop path command was initiated for the signalling path by either
the operator or XCF. All processing for the start request is ended.
- CHANNEL PATH VERIFICATION FAILED
- An unrecoverable error interrupted XCF's verification process
for the device.
- I/O TIMEOUT DURING CHANNEL PATH VERIFICATION
- The command failed during verification for the device's channel
paths because of an I/O timeout.
- NO CHANNEL PATHS LOGICALLY DEFINED FOR DEVICE
- The command failed because the device has no logical channel paths
leading to it.
- NO CHANNEL PATHS PHYSICALLY DEFINED TO DEVICE
- The command failed because the device has no usable physical channel
paths leading to it.
- DEVICE IS IN A PERMANENT ERROR STATE
- The command failed because the device is in a permanent error
state.
- DEVICE NOT CONNECTED TO ANY SUBCHANNEL
- The command failed because the device is not connected to a subchannel.
- DEVICE IS NOT ONLINE
- The device must be online if it is to be used by XCF for signalling.
Start path processing was unable to vary the device online. If the
device is varied online, XCF automatically attempts to start the signalling
path.
- SENSE ID CHANNEL PROGRAM FAILED
- A request for sense data from the device failed. XCF must have
the sense data to operate the CTC adapter correctly.
- UNSUPPORTED CTC DEVICE TYPE
- The device is not a CTC adapter type supported by XCF.
- PATH UNCONDITIONALLY STOPPED
- A stop command with UNCOND=YES was entered for the signalling
path. The unconditional stop path request was initiated by either
the operator or the system. All processing for the start command is
ended.
- UNEXPECTED ERROR
- An unexpected failure occurred while processing the command.
- NO CONNECTIVITY TO COUPLING FACILITY
- The system processing the start command does not have connectivity
to the coupling facility containing the specified structure. This
situation could be due to operator commands such as VARY PATH OFFLINE,
CONFIG CHP OFFLINE or hardware errors such as facility or path failures.
- NO CONNECTION AVAILABLE FOR XCF
- XCF was unable to connect to the structure. There was no connection
available for XCF to use. Possible explanations include:
- The maximum number of connectors to a structure has been reached
for the CFRM active policy.
- The model dependent limit on the maximum number of connectors
to a list structure has been reached for the coupling facility that
contains the list structure.
- Some non-XCF connector is connected to the structure. A non-XCF
connector can prevent XCF from connecting to a structure even though
not all the connections are in use.
- IXLCONN SERVICE COULD NOT CONNECT
- An unexpected return and reason code was returned by the IXLCONN
service when XCF attempted to connect to the structure.
- DELAYED UNTIL STOP COMPLETES
- A system initiated start command is delayed until stop path processing
completes. The system will automatically start the path upon successful
completion of the stop, provided the path remains defined to XCF for
signalling.
- UNABLE TO ALLOCATE A LIST FOR A SIGNALLING PATH
- An unexpected error occurred while attempting to allocate a specific
list within the structure for the list signalling path to use.
- REMOTE SYSTEM NO LONGER USING STRUCTURE
- The system to which the list path was to establish signalling
connectivity is no longer using the structure for signalling.
- STRUCTURE FAILURE
- The structure failed.
- SYSTEMS NO LONGER USING STRUCTURE IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS
- The system with which the list path was to establish signalling
connectivity is no longer using the structure for signalling in the
opposite direction. List paths are established between those pairs
of systems for which the structure has been defined for outbound use
on one system and inbound use on the other system.
- TOO FEW LISTS IN STRUCTURE
- A list could not be allocated for the list path. Either the list
structure was not allocated with enough lists for all the desired
list paths or there is a list path in the midst of stop processing
that has not yet deallocated its list.
- LIST NOTIFICATION VECTOR TOO SMALL
- The list notification vector for the list structure is not large
enough for all the lists that need to be monitored for list transitions.
There was not enough storage available in the Hardware System Area
(HSA) for a larger vector.
- REMOTE SYSTEM STOPPED USING LIST
- The system to which the list path was to establish signalling
connectivity is stopping its side of the list path.
- DELAYED UNTIL STRUCTURE UNQUIESCED
- The system processing the start command has quiesced all I/O operations
to the structure. The start of the list path is delayed until I/O
to the structure is again permitted.
- UNEXPECTED HARDWARE ERROR
- The signalling path could not be started due to an unexpected
hardware error.
- STRUCTURE NOT DEFINED IN ACTIVE POLICY
- The indicated structure name is not defined in the CFRM active
policy. The structure must be defined in the active policy in order
to connect to the structure.
- NEW CONNECTIONS TO STRUCTURE BEING PREVENTED
- New connections to the requested structure are being prevented
at this time for one of the following reasons:
- All active connectors have confirmed the rebuild quiesce event.
New connections will not be permitted until the rebuild or rebuild
stop is completed
- The structure is allocated in a coupling facility that is failed.
New connections will not be permitted until the structure is rebuilt,
or all connections disconnect causing the structure to be deallocated.
- The coupling facility containing the structure is not available
for use because policy reconciliation is in progress. New connections
will not be permitted until policy reconciliation is complete.
- New structure allocations for this structure name are not permitted
because there is a pending policy change for this structure. New connections
will not be permitted until the change is complete.
- UNABLE TO DEFINE LOCAL LIST NOTIFICATION VECTOR
- The list notification vector used to monitor list transitions
could not be defined. The situation is most likely caused by a lack
of storage in the Hardware System Area (HSA).
- OTHER SYSTEMS USING STRUCTURE INCOMPATIBLY
- Some other system is using the structure in ways that are not
compatible with the protocols used by the system that processed the
start command. The signalling path is stopped to avoid interfering
with those systems.
- COUPLE DATA SET FOR CFRM NOT AVAILABLE
- The couple data set for CFRM is not available to this system.
In order to connect to structures, the couple data set for CFRM must
be available.
For a system that is IPLing into an existing sysplex,
this failure also arises when the indicated structure is not defined
in the CFRM active policy.
- DELAYED UNTIL STRUCTURE DUMP COMPLETES
- The connect to the structure could not complete because SVC Dump
holds serialization on the structure.
- STRUCTURE'S DISPOSITION IS KEEP
- The structure already exists but was created with a disposition
that allows it to persist (remain allocated) when there are no defined
connections. Since the system that processed the start command does
not use persistent structures, the structure is being used in ways
that are not compatible with its protocols. The signalling path is
stopped to avoid interfering with the other systems using the structure.
- STRUCTURE'S LIST ENTRY SIZE TOO SMALL
- The structure already exists but was created with a maximum size
list entry that is not large enough to contain 65536 bytes of data.
Since the system that processed the start command creates list entries
containing up to 65536 bytes of data, the structure is being used
in ways that are not compatible with its protocols. The signalling
path is stopped to avoid interfering with the other systems using
the structure.
- STRUCTURE DOES NOT USE ADJUNCT DATA
- The structure already exists but does not use adjunct data. Since
the system that processed the start command uses adjunct data for
its list entries, the structure is being used in ways that are not
compatible with its protocols. The signalling path is stopped to avoid
interfering with the other systems using the structure.
- STRUCTURE DOES NOT USE DATA ELEMENTS
- The structure already exists but does not use data elements. Since
the system that processed the start command uses list entries containing
data elements, the structure is being used in ways that are not compatible
with its protocols. The signalling path is stopped to avoid interfering
with the other systems using the structure.
- STRUCTURE DOES NOT COUNT LIST ENTRIES
- The structure already exists but does maintain list counts on
a list entry basis. Since the system that processed the start command
uses list entry counts, the structure is being used in ways that are
not compatible with its protocols. The signalling path is stopped
to avoid interfering with the other systems using the structure.
- IPLING SYSTEM UNABLE TO WRITE STRUCTURE
- XCF connected to the structure before the IPLing system became
active in the sysplex. It is not possible to make any updates to
the structure until after the system becomes active in the sysplex.
However, once the IPLing system became active in the sysplex, it
still could not make updates.
- XES FUNCTION NOT AVAILABLE
- XES functions are not available. This situation can arise when
the hardware necessary to provide XES functions is not present.
- STRUCTURE IN USE BY A NON-XCF CONNECTOR
- The structure already exists, but one or more of the connectors
is not XCF. Since it appears that the structure is in use by some
other application, XCF disconnects from the structure to avoid interfering
with that application. Structures to be used by XCF for signalling
should be dedicated exclusively to XCF in order to ensure correct
operation of the signalling service. Message IXC452I is issued to
identify the non-XCF connectors.
- DELAYED UNTIL REBUILD COMPLETES
- The structure already exists, but there is a rebuild in progress.
The system processing the start command elected not to participate
in the rebuild.
- DELAYED UNTIL AN ACTIVE SYSTEM ALLOCATES STRUCTURE
- An system cannot allocate a structure for signalling until after
the system is active in the sysplex and XES services are available.
Systems attempting to IPL into a sysplex may be able to connect to
an existing structure in use by XCF for signalling, but cannot create
such a structure. The indicated structure does not yet exist.
- USER SYNC POINT SET
- The structure already exists, but there is a user sync point set.
Sync points are set during rebuild processing, but are otherwise
unexpected. If there is a rebuild in progress,'the start is delayed
until the rebuild completes. If there is no rebuild in progress, an
unexpected error has occurred. The error could be caused by a non-XCF
connector using the structure.
- STRUCTURE IN USE BY ANOTHER SYSPLEX
- The structure already exists, but appears to be in use by systems
in a different sysplex. Signalling paths are only permitted between
systems participating in the same sysplex.
- NOT ENOUGH FREE SPACE IN STRUCTURE FOR SIGNALLING
- There is not enough space available in the structure for XCF to
use it for signalling. After connecting to the structure, XCF verifies
that there is enough space available to manage the structure and to
be able to send at least one signal of the maximum supported message
length. If the size of the structure is greater than or equal to the
maximum structure size defined in the CFRM active policy, the size
specified in the policy must be increased so that a larger structure
can be allocated. If the allocated structure size is less than the
size defined in the policy for the structure, the coupling facility
containing the structure did not have enough space available to allocate
the structure as large as the policy allowed. Either more space needs
to be made available in the coupling facility, or the structure needs
to be allocated in a coupling facility that can accommodate it.
- UNABLE TO ALLOCATE STRUCTURE
- Structure could not be allocated. Message IXC463I is written to
the system log to explain why the allocation failed in each of the
coupling facilities that was tried. The preference list and exclusion
list in the CFRM active policy determines which coupling facilities
are allowed to contain the structure.

System action
The signalling path remains defined to XCF as
a signalling path (provided the system has not processed a SETXCF
STOP path operator command). The signalling path is considered to
be in an INOPERATIVE state' If the problems that prevent the path
from starting are resolved, a new start command can be entered. In
many cases, the system is able to detect circumstances for which the
problems may have been resolved and automatically initiates a new
start request. In the case of a list structure, the system may attempt
to rebuild the structure.
Operator response
If the path was specified incorrectly, enter
a SETXCF STOP path command so that the path is no longer defined to
XCF for signalling. The stop prevents the system from using resources
to manage the path definition and prevents attempts to start a path
that is not intended to be used for signalling. Then enter a SETXCF
START path command with the path specified correctly.
For a
path that was correctly specified, any hardware, definitional, or
capacity problems must be resolved before the path can be used for
signalling. In some cases these problems are resolved automatically
by the system. For other cases, manual intervention is required.
The type of manual intervention needed varies according to the message
text. After the problem is resolved, it is often the case that no
further action is necessary as the system automatically starts the
path again. If needed or desired, enter a SETXCF START path command
to manually reinitiate start processing for the path' If the problem
persists, do the following:
- Record the name of the signalling path, the text explaining why
the start was not successful, and any diagnostic data presented with
this message. The system programmer will need this information if
it becomes necessary to contact IBM service
for problem resolution.
- Enter the display commands appropriate to the particular type
of signalling path' Record the results of the display commands to
assist with problem determination.
- Contact hardware support as needed.
- Contact the system programmer as needed.
The following commands are useful for investigating unsuccessful
start path requests for devices:
- DISPLAY U,CTC,ALLOC,dev to display the allocation
information for a CTC device with device number dev.
- DISPLAY U,CTC,,dev to display the status of
the device.
- Enter a DISPLAY M=DEV(dev) to display the state
of the channel paths to the device with device number dev.
The following commands are useful for investigating unsuccessful
start path requests for structures and list paths. In some cases,
it may be helpful to enter these commands on systems in the sysplex
other than the one that was processing the start path request.
- DISPLAY XCF,PATHOUT,STRNAME=strname to display
detailed information about the use of the structure for signalling,
including the state of the outbound list paths that have been started.
- DISPLAY XCF,PATHIN,STRNAME=strname to display
detailed information about the use of the structure for signalling,
including the state of the inbound list paths that have been started.
- DISPLAY XCF,STRUCTURE to display summary information about the
structures defined in this sysplex.
- DISPLAY XCF,STRUCTURE,STRNAME=strname to display
detailed information about the indicated structure.
- DISPLAY XCF,CF to display summary information about the coupling
facilities defined in this sysplex.
- DISPLAY XCF,CF,CFNAME=cfname to display detailed
information about the indicated coupling facility as defined to the
sysplex.
- DISPLAY CF to display summary hardware information about the coupling
facilities connected to a system.
- DISPLAY CF,CFNAME=cfname to display detailed
hardware information about the indicated coupling facility connected
to a system.
- DISPLAY M=CHP(chp) to display the state of
the channel paths connecting a system to a coupling facility.
Depending on the message text, do the following manual
intervention:
- UNABLE TO ALLOCATE DEVICE
- Display the allocation information for the device by entering
the DISPLAY U,CTC,ALLOC,dev command. If appropriate,
deallocate the device from the indicated user.
If the device is
used by global resource serialization and is to be made available
to XCF, deallocate it by entering the VARY dev,OFFLINE,FORCE
command. Enter the command from both systems attached to that device.
- NO CHANNEL PATHS PHYSICALLY DEFINED TO DEVICE
- Enter the VARY command to make sure there are channel paths online
for this device.
- DEVICE IS NOT ONLINE
- Enter the VARY command to vary the device online.
- NO CONNECTIVITY TO COUPLING FACILITY
- Enter a DISPLAY XCF,STRUCTURE,STRNAME=strname for
information about which coupling facility contains the indicated structure.
Enter a DISPLAY CF,CFNAME=cfname command to display
the status of that coupling facility and the channel paths that connect
the system to it, (cfname is the name of the coupling
facility that contains the structure).
Enter a CONFIG CHP command
to configure channel paths to the coupling facility, if needed. Enter
a VARY PATH command to vary the channel paths online to the system,
if needed.
- NO CONNECTION AVAILABLE FOR XCF
- Enter a DISPLAY XCF,STRUCTURE,STRNAME=strname command
for information about the connectors to the structure. Enter a DISPLAY
XCF,POLICY,TYPE=CFRM command for information about the CFRM active
policy. Consult the system programmer as needed to determine whether
to:
- Perform the steps needed to activate a CFRM policy that has been
formatted to support more connectors.
- Enter a SETXCF START,REBUILD command to rebuild the structure
in a coupling facility that supports more connectors.
- Perform the steps needed to cause the non-XCF connector to disconnect
from the structure.
- LIST NOTIFICATION VECTOR TOO SMALL
- UNABLE TO DEFINE LOCAL LIST NOTIFICATION
- VECTOR
- Enter a DISPLAY XCF,STR command to determine which structures
are in use' For each structure that is in use, enter a DISPLAY,XCF,STR,STRNAME=inusestr,
where inusestr is the name of an in use structure,
to determine which applications are connected to the structure from
this system. Consult the system programmer as needed to determine
whether to reduce the number of connectors connected to structures
from the system that processed the start command, or to modify the
way in which the connectors are using the structure, or to perform
the steps needed to increase the amount of storage in the Hardware
System Area (HSA).
- STRUCTURE NOT DEFINED IN ACTIVE POLICY
- Consult the system programmer as needed to determine which CFRM
policy should be made active. Enter a SETXCF START,POLICY,TYPE=CFRM,POLNAME=polname to
activate the policy named polname which defines
the structure.
- COUPLE DATA SET FOR CFRM NOT AVAILABLE
- Enter a DISPLAY XCF,COUPLE,TYPE=CFRM command to list the couple
data set in use for CFRM. Consult the system programmer as needed
to determine which coupling data set should be made available for
CFRM. As needed, enter a SETXCF COUPLE command for a couple data
set to be used for CFRM.
- DELAYED UNTIL STRUCTURE DUMP COMPLETES
- The system automatically starts the path again when the dump completes.
However, if the dump does not complete within a reasonable time,
enter a DISPLAY,XCF,STRNAME=strname command for
information about the structure dump. To force the dump serialization
to be released, enter a SETXCF FORCE,STRDUMPSERIAL command. Note however,
that the requested structure dump may then fail to contain the data
needed for problem determination.
- DELAYED UNTIL REBUILD COMPLETES
- The system automatically starts the path again when rebuild completes.
However, if the rebuild does not complete within a reasonable time,
enter a DISPLAY,XCF,STRNAME=strname command for
information about the state of the structure and rebuild processing.
One possible source of rebuild delay is a connector failing to respond
to a rebuild event. Ensure that all connectors are operational and
that there is signalling connectivity between all the systems in the
sysplex so that responses can be processed. It may be necessary to
force a connector to disconnect, which causes an implicit response
to be made. Use the SETXCF STOP path command for each applicable
direction to force XCF to disconnect from the structure on the system
that processes the stop path command.
- DELAYED UNTIL AN ACTIVE SYSTEM ALLOCATES STRUCTURE
- Usually, no action is needed since the system automatically starts
the path again once the system becomes active in the sysplex and XES
services become available. So if an IPLing system is able to establish
signalling connectivity with the other systems in the sysplex, no
action is needed.
If an IPLing system is not able to establish
signalling connectivity with the other systems in the sysplex, action
may be needed on one or more of the systems already active in the
sysplex before the IPL can proceed. Message IXC454I lists the systems
for which signalling connectivity cannot be established. Consult the
system programmer as needed to determine which of the these systems
are to use the indicated structure to establish signalling connectivity
with the IPLing system. The structure must be started as an XCF signalling
path on those systems. If the active systems are themselves IPLing,
the indicated structure will be started as a consequence of being
defined as a signalling path in the COUPLExx parmlib member. If not,
enter a SETXCF START path command on the active systems as needed
to start the structure for signalling in the appropriate directions.
Message IXC306I is issued when the structure is successfully started
for signalling. After the active systems successfully start the structure
for signalling, respond to message IXC455D on the IPLing system that
needs to establish signalling connectivity.
System programmer response
Do the following:
- Examine the information provided by the operator.
- Ensure that the signalling path is correctly defined to XCF.
- Ensure that the hardware is correctly configured, defined to the
system, and operational.
- Perform the actions suggested below for the indicated message
text.
- Examine logrec error records for I/O errors or other hardware
problems related to the signalling path.
- Examine the system log for other messages related to the signalling
path. In the case of a list structure, messages IXC452I, IXC457I,
and IXC463I are especially relevant.
- Obtain the following additional diagnostic information as appropriate
for problem determination:
- The XCF component trace table. The trace table must be obtained
within 30 seconds of completion of the command if XCF detail tracing
is enabled, and within a few minutes if just XCF default tracing is
in effect. Default tracing is sufficient to resolve this problem.
- For list structures, the XES component trace tables. Obtain both
the global trace buffer and the connection related trace buffer.
- A GTF I/O trace of the device.
If the problem persists, search problem reporting data
bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM Support Center. Supply any
diagnostic data presented as part of the start failed message, any
output from the DISPLAY commands issued while investigating the problem,
the system log(s), and any of the traces that were obtained.
Depending
on the message text, the following actions are appropriate:
- ALL CONNECTIONS TO STRUCTURE ARE IN USE
- If the maximum number of connectors to a structure has been reached
for the CFRM active policy, use the XCF couple data set format utility
to create a new couple data set that supports more connectors. Run
the XCF Administrative Data Utility to recreate the CFRM policy in
the new couple data set. Have the operator make this couple data set
available to the sysplex.
If the model dependent limit on the maximum
number of connectors to a list structure has been reached for the
coupling facility that contains the list structure, have the operator
rebuild the structure into some other coupling facility that can support
the required number of connectors. If so, consider modifying the
preference list in the CFRM policy so that the structure is allocated
in coupling facilities that can support the required number of connectors.
If no suitable coupling facility is available, consider defining more
list structures for signalling so that each list structures provides
signalling connectivity for a subset of systems in the sysplex. The
structures together can provide for full signalling connectivity but
the number of connectors need not exceed the model dependent limits
on the number of connectors.
If some non-XCF connector is connected
to the structure, take whatever steps are needed to force that connector
to disconnect.
- LIST NOTIFICATION VECTOR TOO SMALL
- UNABLE TO DEFINE LOCAL LIST NOTIFICATION VECTOR
- There was not enough storage available in the Hardware System
Area (HSA) of the system that processed the start command to allow
a list notification vector of the required length to be defined. Either
reduce the amount of storage being used in the HSA, or increase the
amount of storage available in the HSA for creating list notification
vectors. Reduce the amount of HSA storage being used by decreasing
the number of connectors or changing the way connectors make use of
their structure. For example, the size of the list notification vector
required by the XCF signalling service is determined by the number
of inbound list paths to be started. As another example, changing
the number of buffers associated with a XES cache structure changes
the amount of HSA storage required by the connector.
- STRUCTURE NOT DEFINED IN ACTIVE POLICY
- A CFRM policy containing a definition for the structure must be
made active' As needed, run the XCF Administrative Data Utility to
define the structure in a policy. Have the operator enter a SETXCF
START,POLICY command to activate a policy that defines the structure.
- COUPLE DATA SET FOR CFRM NOT AVAILABLE
- Use the XCF format utility program to format a couple data set
for CFRM. Ensure that the couple data set formatted for CFRM is available
to the system.
- NOT ENOUGH FREE SPACE IN STRUCTURE FOR SIGNALLING
- If the size of the structure is greater than or equal to the maximum
structure size defined in the CFRM active policy, use the XCF Administrative
Data Utility to increase the structure size specified in a policy.
Have the operator activate the updated policy.
If the allocated
structure size is less than the size defined in the policy for the
structure, the coupling facility containing the structure did not
have enough space available to allocate the structure as large as
the policy allowed. Either more space needs to be made available
in the coupling facility, or the structure needs to be allocated in
a coupling facility that can accommodate it. More space can be made
available in a coupling facility by causing structures to be deallocated
from that facility, or by decreasing the amount of space reserved
for structure dumps. It may be necessary to modify the preference
list or the exclusion list defined in the CFRM policy to allow the
structure to be allocated in a more suitable coupling facility. Alternatively,
it may be necessary to make a new coupling facility available for
the sysplex to use.
- UNABLE TO ALLOCATE STRUCTURE
- Examine the system log for instances of message IXC463I for explanations
of why the structure could not be allocated. Message IXC463I is issued
for each coupling facility that was considered. Resolve the problems
indicated by message IXC463I or make a suitable coupling facility
available for use.
