IEA467E   PATH(dev,chp) type WRITE INHIBITED sense

Explanation

The system found a hardware write error on a channel path. Recovery was unsuccessful on that path. Subsequent writes to that device or any other device on that interface could result in a loss of data.

In the message text:
dev
The device number.
chp
The channel path identifier (CHPID).
sense
The sense byte information.
type
The component for which the system established the write inhibit condition. One of the following devices:
  • The channel interface
  • The storage director
  • The DASD controller

System action

The system varies the device path logically offline. The system issues message IEA469E. If additional paths are available, the system retries the failing chain on another path to the same device.

Operator response

If the error persists, do the following:

  1. Enter the following: to vary the path offline, assuming that the path is online but not allocated:
    VARY PATH(dev,cc),OFFLINE, UNCOND
  2. After hardware support corrects the problem, submit a job to run an ICKDSF CONTROL command to reset the fenced condition to one of the devices attached to the fenced interface.
  3. If no online paths remain to the device, do the following:
    • VARY FORCE the devices attached to the interface offline.
    • Cancel all jobs that are using the device.
    • Vary online at least one path to the device.
    • Vary the device online, making sure that no jobs allocate the pack.
    • Enter an ICKDSF CONTROL WRITEALLOW command, directing it to one device attached to the failing interface.
    • Vary online all paths that the system varied offline.
  4. If paths remain online, do the following:
    • Enter an ICKDSF CONTROL WRITEALLOW command, directing it to one device attached to the failing interface.
    • Vary online all paths that the system varied offline.
