Server messages

This is a listing of the messages generated by the NFS server. Each message description gives an explanation and recommended actions where applicable. The system substitutes data for any part of a message shown here in italics.

Messages appear on the z/OS operator's console in the same format as this example: Start of changeGFSA348I (MVSNFS) z/OS Network File System Server (HDZ224N, OA57493) started.End of change

Table 61 shows the message format on the NFS server operators console:

Table 1. NFS server z/OS operators console message format
Value Description
GFSA The component identifier for the NFS server
348 A unique message number
I The message type:
A
Action; the user must perform a specific action.
E
Eventual action; the user must perform an action when time is available.
I
Informational; no user action is required.
W
Warning; a user action may need to be performed.

Start of changez/OS Network File System Server (HDZ224N, OA57493) started.End of change Start of changeThe message textEnd of change

Messages appear in the NFS server log data set in the same format as this example: Start of change19102,11:00:18 GFSA348I (I) GFSAMAIN ANMAI event_ANMAI 3545000000BB: (MVSNFS) z/OS Network File System Server (HDZ224N, OA57493) started.End of change

Table 62 shows the message format for the NFS server log data set:

Table 2. Message format for the NFS server log data set
Value Description
Start of change19102,11:00:18End of change The ordinal date and the time stamp (yyddd,hh:mm:ss)
GFSA The component identifier for the NFS server
348 A unique message number
I The message type:
A
Action; the user must perform a specific action.
E
Eventual action; the user must perform an action when time is available.
I
Informational; no user action is required.
W

(I) The message level: E (error), W (attention), or I (informational).

The system programmer can use the message level to determine which type of messages are shown by specifying log=error, log=warn, or log=info.

The messages are listed in numerical order (the Start of changedate/time stampEnd of change, message level, and programming support information are not shown).
  1. A value of h_digits is a hexadecimal number, and d_digits is a decimal number. A value of text or dsname is variable text (such as a data set name).
  2. Messages GFSA300I through GFSA319I are intended for IBM support personnel when they are performing diagnosis. They do not indicate a problem with NFS but do provide statistics on NFS processing. As such, an extensive number of GFSA300I through GFSA319I messages may be issued.
  3. For messages written to the console, the name of the start procedure is substituted for procname.
