IAR044I   LFAREA=(specification) WAS SPECIFIED WHICH EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT AVAILABLE IN THE LARGE FRAME AREA.

Explanation

The LFAREA parameter specified for real storage to be reserved in the large frame area for 1 MB or 2 GB pages, but the request exceeds the online storage that is available for the large frame area. If the total amount of online real storage appears to be sufficient, storage fragmentation caused by offline storage can result in an insufficient number of 2 GB pages being formed. For 1M= or 2G= syntax, when both a target and a minimum amount are provided, the minimum amount is compared against the available amount.

System action

The system issues message IAR045I with the amount of available storage:
  • If xM, xG, xT, or x% syntax was specified, the system attempts to satisfy the request at a lesser amount and continue the IPL.
  • If 1M= or 2G= syntax was specified:
    • If PROMPT was specified, either explicitly or by default, the system prompts for reentry of the LFAREA parameter.
    • If NOPROMPT was specified, the LFAREA specification is ignored and zero 1 MB and zero 2 GB pages are reserved in the large frame area and IPL continues.

Operator response

Ensure that the correct IEASYSxx member is used for this IPL. If the correct IEASYSxx member is used, but sufficient storage is not available, contact your system programmer.

System programmer response

If 1 MB or 2 GB pages are required, ensure that enough contiguous storage is installed for the z/OS® image. Refer to the output of message IAR040I for the number of 2 GB pages that can be reserved.
