ResourceType ResourceName Activation failed – Reason

Explanation

A configuration error was detected during activation of the resource (device or interface).

In the message text:
ResourceType
The type of resource that failed activation. Possible values are device or interface.
ResourceName
The name of the device or interface.
Reason
Reason indicates the cause of the failure and can be one of the following:
An MPC group is defined as MPCUSAGE=EXC and is already in use
The MPC group that this user is trying to use is coded for exclusive use (MPCUSAGE=EXC), and it is already in use by another user.
IQDCHPID is not specified when multiple IQD CHPIDs are available
Multiple IQD (HiperSockets™) CHPIDs are defined on this LPAR, and VTAM® start option IQDCHPID does not specify which is to be used for dynamic XCF connectivity.
IQDIO devices are not available to build an MPC group
An attempt was made to build an iQDIO MPC group, but VTAM could not find at least three subchannel devices associated with the same IQD CHPID.
IQDIO IQD CHPID is in conflict with sysplex IQD CHPID
The user defined an iQDIO device CHPID on a TCP/IP DEVICE or INTERFACE statement and it conflicts with the sysplex IQD CHPID defined by the IQDCHPID VTAM start option for DYNAMICXCF communication.
Processor is not IQD capable
The processor does not support IQD CHPIDs.
IQDIO or OSA CHPID is not available to build an MPC group
An attempt to activate an IQDIO or OSA CHPID was rejected because the CHPID was not found.
  • For iQDIO, one of the following conditions occurred:
    • When attempting dynamic XCF HiperSockets, either the VTAM start option IQDCHPID=NONE was coded, or the IQDCHPID value specified a CHPID that was not defined to the LPAR.
    • A TCP/IP HiperSockets DEVICE or INTERFACE statement specified a CHPID value that was not defined to the LPAR.
  • For OSA-Express, the CHPID value specified on the TRLE or TCP/IP DEVICE or INTERFACE statement was not defined to the LPAR.
OSA control channels are not available to build an MPC group
Two consecutive subchannel addresses, starting with an even number, are required when dynamically building a TRLE for OSA-Express devices that use queued direct I/O (QDIO). The consecutive subchannel addresses are required for the READ and WRITE control channels. The CHPID was found for the failing device, but two consecutive subchannel addresses starting with an even number were not found.
Incorrect PORTNAME or TRLENAME is specified
For devices and interfaces where the TRLE is defined in VTAM and not dynamically generated, the DEVICE or INTERFACE statement must point to a valid TRLE. Either the PORTNAME value, TRLENAME value, or DEVICE name does not match a corresponding value on a TRLE statement.
PNETID is not configured
An IBM® 10GbE RoCE Express® feature configured on the GLOBALCONFIG statement does not have a physical network ID.
No datapath device addresses are available
A QDIO or iQDIO device or interface activation failed because there were no datapath devices available.
The channel unit address is not available
The device is attempting to use a channel unit address (CUA) that is not defined or not available.
An incorrect channel unit address is specified
The device is attempting to use an incorrect channel unit address (CUA).
The channel unit address is already in use
The channel unit address (CUA) is being used by other resources.
QDIO CHPID type mismatch is detected
The CHPID type for the OSA-Express device using QDIO does not match the type of CHPID that it is attempting to use.
OSM/OSX activation not permitted because LPAR is not in Ensemble
Activating OSM or OSX interface is not supported because the LPAR is not participating in an Ensemble.
OSM/OSX activation not permitted because CPC is not in Ensemble
Activating OSM or OSX devices is not supported because the CPC is not configured as a member of an Ensemble.
IQD activation is not permitted against an IQDX device
The DEVICE or INTERFACE statement for the failing resource specifies a HiperSockets CHPID that is defined with the Internal Queued Direct I/O extensions (IQDX) function of HiperSockets. A CHPID with the IQDX function is reserved for IQDX communications and cannot be specified on the DEVICE or INTERFACE statement.
Portname is already in use by another port on this CHPID
An attempt was made to activate an OSA-Express port in QDIO mode. The portname used on this activation attempt was already in use on the other port on this CHPID. Two ports on the same CHPID cannot have the same portname.
Different portname is already assigned to OSA
An attempt was made to activate an OSA-Express port in QDIO mode. The portname for this activation attempt did not match the portname already assigned to this port by a previous user. All z/OS® users of a port must activate it with the same portname.

System action

TCP/IP marks the device or interface inactive.

Operator response

Contact the system programmer.

System programmer response

Depending on the value of Reason, take the following actions:
An MPC group is defined as MPCUSAGE=EXC and is already in use
Ensure that there is only one user of a TRLE defined with MPCUSAGE=EXC. A user can be a TCP/IP device or interface, or a VTAM PU.
IQDCHPID is not specified when multiple IQD CHPIDs are available
When more than one IQD CHPID is defined, VTAM start option IQDCHPID must specify the one that is to be used for dynamic XCF connectivity. Choose which CHPID is to be used for dynamic XCF, and specify it on the IQDCHPID VTAM start option. Also, ensure that the CHPID to be used for dynamic XCF is not used on a HiperSockets device of type MPCIPA, or a HiperSockets interface of type IPAQIDIO or IPAQIDIO6 for any stack on the LPAR. The CHPID specified on IQDCHPID is reserved for dynamic XCF connectivity.
IQDIO devices are not available to build an MPC group
Verify the Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD) or Input Output Control Data Set (IOCDS) configuration for accuracy for this logical partition. The HCD configuration might need to be updated to specify a sufficient number of HiperSockets devices.
IQDIO IQD CHPID is in conflict with sysplex IQD CHPID
  • If dynamic XCF connectivity is required, ensure that no TCP/IP DEVICE or INTERFACE statement specifies the same CHPID that is defined for XCF connectivity on the IQDCHPID VTAM start option.
  • If dynamic XCF connectivity is not required, ensure that DYNAMICXCF is not defined on the TCP/IP IPCONFIG or IPCONFIG6 statement, or specify IQDCHPID=NONE as a VTAM start option.
Processor is not IQD capable
Remove all TCP/IP HiperSockets DEVICE and INTERFACE statements. They are not available on this processor.
IQDIO or OSA CHPID is not available to build an MPC group
Ensure that the CHPID defined for the OSA-Express or HiperSockets DEVICE or INTERFACE is defined for this LPAR.
OSA control channels are not available to build an MPC group
Ensure that sufficient subchannel addresses exist for all users of the TRLE, and that at least two addresses are consecutive starting with an even number for the two control channels.
Incorrect PORTNAME or TRLENAME is specified
For the failing device or interface, determine which VTAM TRLE definition should be used.
  • If the TRLE is identified on the INTERFACE statement by the PORTNAME parameter, ensure that the PORTNAME parameter contains a value that matches the PORTNAME parameter on the VTAM TRLE statement.
  • If the TRLE is identified on the INTERFACE statement by the TRLENAME parameter, ensure that the TRLENAME parameter contains a value that matches the TRLE name of the VTAM TRLE statement.
  • If the port name is identified on the DEVICE statement by a DEVICE name, ensure that the DEVICE name matches the PORTNAME parameter on the VTAM TRLE statement.
PNETID is not configured
Configure a physical network ID for the 10GbE RoCE Express feature in HCD or remove the PCI-function ID (PFID) definition representing the 10GbE RoCE Express feature from the SMCR parameter of the GLOBALCONFIG statement.
No datapath device addresses are available
Ensure that there are sufficient datapath device addresses defined for the device.
The channel unit address is not available
Verify that the channel unit address is defined in HCD or IOCDS and that it is varied online.
An incorrect channel unit address is specified
Verify that the channel unit address is correctly defined. Verify that both READ and WRITE CUAs are specified if they are both required.
The channel unit address is already in use
Verify that the device uses a channel unit address that is not in use by another user. Examples of other users are another TCP/IP stack on this LPAR, or VTAM.
QDIO CHPID type mismatch is detected
Verify that the CHPID type specified or defaulted on the configuration statement is the same as the type that is assigned to this device.
OSM/OSX activation not permitted because LPAR is not in Ensemble
Enable LPAR participation in the Ensemble by specifying the ENSEMBLE=YES VTAM start option.

See TCP/IP in an ensemble in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide for more information about Ensembles.

OSM/OSX activation not permitted because CPC is not in Ensemble
If connectivity to the intraensemble data network or intranode management network is needed, ensure that the LPAR is configured as a member of the Ensemble. See TCP/IP in an ensemble in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide for more information about Ensembles.
IQD activation is not permitted against an IQDX device
Either remove the HiperSockets DEVICE or INTERFACE statement, or specify a different HiperSockets CHPID. For more information about the IQDX function, see HiperSockets connectivity to the intraensemble data network in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide.
Portname is already in use by another port on this CHPID
Identify the portname of the failing DEVICE or INTERFACE statement. It is specified as the DEVICE name on a DEVICE statement and as the PORTNAME value on an INTERFACE statement. Change the portname value on the DEVICE or INTERFACE statement and on the PORTNAME operand on the TRLE representing this port to a name that is unique on this CHPID.
Different portname is already assigned to OSA
Identify all users of the OSA-Express port and ensure that the portname is the same for all users. Users might be other TCP/IP stacks on this LPAR, or TCP/IP stacks on other LPARs.
