Explanation

During initial program load (IPL), an I/O error occurred while IPL was reading from the SYSRES or IODF volume. The error can be one or more of the following:
  • An interface control check
  • A channel control check
  • A channel data check
  • A program check
  • A channel chaining check
  • STATE CHANGE INTERRUPT detected due to SETCACHE SUBSYS OFF issued on sharing system.
Note: One commonly seen cause for this problem is having the nucleus in secondary extents. This problem has also been caused by the nucleus containing a not-executable SVC. Browse SYS1.NUCLEUS for any member with an attribute of NX.

System action

The system enters a non-restartable wait state.

Operator response

Use the hardware Problem Determination facilities to see if any errors occurred during the IPL process. If channel errors occurred, try configuring the channel paths offline and reipling the system.

If the problem recurs, notify the system programmer.

If the system programmer requests, obtain a standalone dump.

System programmer response

Search problem reporting databases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center. Provide the stand-alone dump.
