Sysplex_DASDSys_VaryStatus_Warn

Sysplex_ DASDSys_ VaryStatus_ Warn monitors DASD devices and issues a Warning alert if a device vary status is ”Boxed“ or ”Not Ready.“

The formula is:

VALUE Sysplex_DASD_Device.Vary_Status *EQ 0X04 OR VALUE Sysplex_DASD_Device.Vary_Status *EQ 0X05

This situation is raised when a DASD volume is in a ”Boxed“ or ”Not Ready“ status and is not available. If needed data sets are on the device and no backup devices are available, a system or subsystem failure may occur. If you cannot use the VARY command to return the device to online status, there may be a hardware malfunction and a Severity 1 or 2 hardware incident should be opened with the hardware vendor.
