IXC203I
sysname IS CURRENTLY {ACTIVE|IPLING} IN THE SYSPLEX

Explanation

This system is trying to join the sysplex, but the system name, sysname, is already in use in the sysplex. A system name must be unique within a sysplex.

This error may mean that a system is joining the wrong sysplex, or that this system just reIPLed with message IXC402D outstanding on the other systems in the sysplex.

In the message text:
sysname
The system name that is not unique within the sysplex.
ACTIVE
There is already a system sysname active in the sysplex.
IPLING
There is already a system sysname IPLing into the sysplex.

System action

The system issues message IXC207A to prompt the operator for a new COUPLExx parmlib member.

Operator response

Do one of the following:
  • If this system just reIPLed, look for message IXC402D on the other systems in the sysplex. See the operator response for message IXC402D. Then reply to message IXC207A to respecify the current COUPLExx parmlib member.
  • Respond to the outstanding replies or notify the system programmer.
  • Verify that the system parameter options specified on this IPL were correct. Notify the system programmer.

System programmer response

Look at the DISPLAY command output to determine the name being used by each system in the sysplex. If another system is already correctly using the name, do one of the following:
  • Change the SYSNAME system parameter in the IEASYSxx parmlib member to a unique name within the sysplex. Make sure the global resource serialization parameters specify the new name correctly. Then ask the operator to reIPL the system with the updated CONFIG=xx member.
  • If this system must have the name sysname, remove the other system named sysname from the sysplex.
