EZD1296I

Explanation
 There are no more ports available in the active
range to be allocated for  explicit bind port range processing. This
message indicates that the explicit bind port  range is too small
to accommodate all the applications that issue bind  requests to INADDR_ANY
and IN6ADDR_ANY and port 0. This message is issued only once every
5 minutes when the TCP/IP stack attempts to allocate a new port from
the  explicit bind port range and finds that no ports are available.
Display the active explicit bind port range by issuing a DISPLAY TCPIP,,SYSPLEX,PORTS
 command. See the information about DISPLAY
TCPIP,,SYSPLEX in z/OS Communications Server: IP System Administrator's
Commands.

System action
 TCP/IP continues. Applications that issue bind
requests to INADDR_ANY and IN6ADDR_ANY , port  0 on this stack will
have their subsequent connections fail if a distributed  DVIPA is
chosen as a source IP address.

Operator response
 Contact the system programmer.

System programmer response
 Either extend the active explicit
bind port range or configure a new  explicit bind port range with
enough ports to accommodate the way the range is used in your sysplex
(or subplex). The increase in size for the range should be at  least
64 times the number of TCP/IP stacks configured with the GLOBALCONFIG
 EXPLICITBINDPORTRANGE option in the sysplex (or subplex). For example,
if your current range is 06000–06639 and you have five TCP/IP stacks
configured with the GLOBALCONFIG EXPLICITBINDPORTRANGE statement,
you probably want to increase the range by 320 ports to 06000–06959.
See the information about the GLOBALCONFIG
statement in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration
Reference for information about setting the  EXPLICITBINDPORTRANGE
statement. See the information about diagnosing
network security services (NSS) server problems in z/OS Communications Server: IP Diagnosis Guide for information about how to determine a
range for explicit bind ports.

Automation
 This is a system console message. You might automate
on this message to determine when the EXPLICITBINDPORTRANGE is exhausted,
so that you can extend the range, as described in the System Programmer
Response.
