DFS3892 WAITING FOR I/O PREVENTION TO COMPLETE

Explanation

Takeover by the alternate system cannot proceed until I/O prevention on the active system has completed.

System action

The alternate system is waiting to be notified that I/O prevention is complete in the active system: either the response /UNLOCK to message AVM005A or the /UNLOCK SYSTEM command from the alternate system Master Terminal Operator (MTO).

Operator response

(master terminal) Make sure that the failing system can no longer generate I/O requests. When this is true, the alternate system MTO can either enter the /UNLOCK SYSTEM command or reply /UNLOCK to the MVS AVM message to allow takeover to proceed.

Programmer response

No action is required.
