IEA491E   dev, [volser], PPRC SUSPENDED error-reason, (PRI)=aaaa-bbbbb,CCA=xx (SEC)=aaaa-bbbbb,CCA=xx SENSE=sense

The peer-to-peer remote copy operation (PPRC) has been suspended at the time indicated for the error reason stated in the message. This message, IEA491E, is detected and issued by only one of the systems where the device is attached.

dev

The device number.

volser

This is the volume serial number of the PPRC volume pair encountering the failure. Note that when a failure is received by an alias device or an offline device, the volser is not available, so the message text does not have the volser.

error-reason

The error reasons are:

• SUSPENDED, PRIMARY-DEVICE-WRITE- FAILURE

  A write failure occurs during a write operation from the application site storage control to the primary device indicated by the volume serial number. The primary volume storage control continues to keep track of changed cylinders, such that after the error is corrected, you can select the RESYNC option to reestablish the PPRC pair.

• SUSPENDED, SECONDARY-SUBSYSTEM- FAILURE

  An error occurs in the recovery storage subsystem that has caused the peer-to-peer remote copy pair to be suspended at the time indicated. The primary volume storage control continues to keep track of changed cylinders, such that after the error is corrected, you can select the correct reestablish method. If the error is such that data may have been lost (for example, a physical secondary device error or the loss of NVS), after the error is corrected, select the COPY option to reestablish the PPRC pair.

• SUSPENDED, COMMUNICATION-TO- SECONDARY-FAILURE

  An error has been encountered in the peer-to-peer remote copy communications paths, such that the application site storage control for the device indicated can no longer communicate with the target volume’s storage control. The primary volume’s storage control continues to keep track of changed cylinders. When the error is corrected, you may select the RESYNC option to reestablish the PPRC pair.

• SUSPENDED, CRITICAL-STATE, ALL-WRITES-FAILED

  A previous PPRC error has occurred on a volume established with the CRIT(YES) parameter. A write I/O has occurred to the volume indicated by the volume serial number and it has been unit checked.

• SUSPENDED, SECONDARY NOT READY, INTERVENTION_REQUIRED,

  The secondary device of a PPRC pair has been suspended because the secondary device in the pair is not ready. The primary volume storage control continues to keep track of changed cylinders. After the error is corrected, you may select the RESYNC option to reestablish the PPRC pair.

• SUSPENDED, SECONDARY TRACK FORMAT NOT SAME AS PRIMARY

  The format of a track on the secondary volume does not match the format of the corresponding primary track when performing an update operation.

• SUSPENDED, ESTABLISH FLASHCOPY WITH PRESERVE MIRROR FAILURE

  A request to establish a FlashCopy® relationship with preserve mirror required encountered an error resulting in the suspension of the target PPRC pair.

(PRI)=aaaa-bbbbb,CCA=xx

This is the primary PPRC volume storage control serial number followed by the primary volume’s channel connection address. The reported serial number can be one of the following:

• aaaa — The first four bytes of the storage control serial number.
• bbbbb — The last five bytes of the 12-byte sequence number portion of the serial number. This number can be found on the lower left-hand portion of the storage control operator panel.
• xx — The two-byte channel connection address.

(SEC)=aaaa-bbbbb,CCA=xx

This is the PPRC secondary volume’s storage control serial number followed by the secondary volume’s channel connection address. The reported serial number can be one of the following:

• aaaa— The first four bytes of the storage control serial number.
• bbbbb — The last five bytes of the 12-byte sequence number portion of the serial number. This number is found on the lower left-hand portion of the storage control operator panel.
• xx — The two-byte channel connection address.

sense

The 32 characters of sense data reported by the device.
