ICP138I NULL CANDIDATE LIST SPECIFIED FOR CHPID xx IN CSS y
Explanation
You generated a candidate list that contained no logical partitions
(a null candidate list) for channel path xx in CSS y by
specifying in the CHPID statement one of the following groups
of values:
- A zero as the access list and an equal sign (=) as the candidate list for CSS y using the PART, PARTITION, or NOTPART keyword.
- All logical partitions (LPs) in the configuration for CSS y in the candidate list parameter of the NOTPART keyword.
- CSS y in the PATH keyword where the only partition name defined in that CSS with the RESOURCE statement is MCS_1. MCS_1 cannot contain any I/O resource including channel paths which resulted in a null candidate list for channel path xx in CSS y.
A channel path must have at least one LP in its generated candidate list from each CSS in which it is defined.
System action
IOCP continues to validate and check the syntax of the remaining statements. However, it does not generate an IOCDS and it does not produce configuration reports.
Programmer response
In the CHPID statement, do one of the following actions:
- Specify at least one LP in the candidate list for each CSS
- Delete at least one LP from CSS y in the candidate list parameter of the NOTPART keyword
- For a spanned channel path that you do not want to access any LP in a CSS, remove the CSS ID from the PATH keyword of the CHPID statement.
- If the CSS ID has only partition MCS_1 defined in it, remove the CSS ID from the PATH keyword of the CHPID statement.
