MVS system messages and RPFC for XRC: IGD

This topic includes the IGD messages that are new or changed for RPFC for XRC. They are marked with revision bars.

IGD17268I (n) (text) VOLUMES WERE NOT USED FOR FAST REPLICATION BECAUSE (reason1 | reason3) | (n) FR-ELIGIBLE VOLUMES (reason2) | (n) FR-ELIGIBLE VOLUMES WERE NOT USED FOR PRESERVE MIRROR BECAUSE (reason3) | (n) FR-ELIGIBLE VOLUMES WERE NOT USED FOR A REMOTE PAIR FLASHCOPY XRC REQUEST BECAUSE (reason3)

Explanation

This is an informational message that is issued, in conjunction with the IGD17269I message, in that very specific instance when the allocation request specified that fast replication was preferred, but this could not be honored because enough space could not be obtained on available fast replication volumes. The allocation was successful, but fast replication could not be satisfied. This message may be issued more than once for each request, depending on the ‘reasons’ for which volumes that are eligible for selection were not used for fast replication. It is to be used as a diagnostic tool to help determine why the fast replication request could not be honored. Refer to the ANTRQST section in z/OS DFSMS Advanced Copy Services for information on the QFRVOLS volume reason texts and volume reason code.

In the message text:
n
The number of volumes
text
Blank or RF-ELIGIBLE

Reason why these n volumes were rejected. The possible reasons are:

  • THE UCB WAS OF THE WRONG TYPE
  • THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR STRIPING
  • THE DPCT WAS NOT AVAILABLE
  • THEY DID NOT MEET REQUIRED SEPARATION CRITERIA

  • OF INSUFF TOTAL SPACE
  • OF INSUFF FREE SPACE FOR FAST VOLUME SELECTION
  • OF THE USEEAV(NO) SPECIFICATION
  • THEY WERE SPACE EFFICIENT VOLUMES
  • THEY WERE THE WRONG DEVICE TYPE FOR CLASS TRANSITION
reason2
Reason why these n fast replication eligible volumes were not preferred. The possible reasons are:
  • WERE ABOVE THRESHOLD AND LESS PREFERRED
  • WERE IN QUIESCED STATUS AND LESS PREFERRED
  • WERE IN OVERFLOW SG AND LESS PREFERRED
  • DID NOT MEET PREFERRED SEPARATION CRITERIA
  • WERE IN TIERED STORAGE GROUP SELECTION
  • WERE SPACE EFFICIENT VOLUMES AND LESS PREFERRED
reason3
Reason why these n volumes were rejected. The possible reason is:
  • OF (volume reason texts from ANTRQST QFRVOLS) - ANTRQST QFRVOLS VOLUME RSN (rsn-code)
Where:
diagdata
is the DADSM diagnostic code or OTHERS after 10 diagnostic codes have been displayed for a failure reason.
rsn-code
is the error reason code returned by ANTRQST.

System action

Processing continues.

System programmer response

This message may provide some information as to why this data set could not be allocated on fast replication volumes. You may need to modify the ACS routines or take other action to make additional fast replication volumes available.

Programmer response

None. This is an informational message only.

IGD17279I (n) VOLUMES WERE REJECTED BECAUSE reason

Explanation

SMS failed the allocation because volume(s) could not be selected. This message may be issued more than once for each volume selection failure, depending on the 'reasons' for which volumes were rejected. See the ANTRQST section in z/OS DFSMS Advanced Copy Services for information on the QFRVOLS volume reason texts and volume reason code. Also refer to DADSM CREATE (allocate) return and diagnostic codes in z/OS DFSMSdfp Diagnosis.

  • OF INSUFF FREE SPACE FOR FAST VOLUME SELECTION
  • OF THE USEEAV(NO) SPECIFICATION

System action

Processing stops.

Operator response

None

System programmer response

Correct the problem indicated by the reason in the message and resubmit the request.
Reason
Response
OF A DADSM FAILURE
Correct the DADSM condition.
THE SMS VOLUME STATUS WAS DISABLED
Enable the requested volumes.
THE SMS STORAGE GROUP STATUS WAS DISABLED
Enable the requested storage group or groups.
THEY WERE NOT ONLINE
Vary the volume online.
THE VOLUME WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO Asynchronous Operations Manager (AOM)
Vary the volume online.
THEY DID NOT SUPPORT THE AVAILABILITY REQUIREMENT
Refer to the SMS storage class.
THEY DID NOT SUPPORT DATA SET SEPARATION
Refer to the installation data set separation profile, or make another physical control unit available for allocation.
THEY DID NOT SUPPORT THE ACCESSIBILITY REQUIREMENT
Refer to the SMS storage class.
THEY DID NOT SUPPORT THE PAV REQUIREMENT
Refer to the SMS storage class.
THEY WERE NOT SPECIFIED ON A SPECIFIC GUARANTEED SPACE REQUEST
Specify additional volumes on the guaranteed space request.
THEY DID NOT SUPPORT THE EXTENDED FORMAT REQUIREMENT
Refer to the SMS data class.
THEY DID NOT SUPPORT THE REQUEST FOR FIXED DASD (IART=0)
Refer to the SMS storage class.
THEY DID NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT SPACE
Refer to installation procedures.
THEY WERE NOT ON THE INCLUDE LIST
Refer to DFSMSdss policy.
THEY WERE ON THE EXCLUDE LIST
The volumes were already in use by this data set.
THEY COULD NOT BE SUCCESSFULLY ALLOCATED
Vary the volumes online if they are offline, or make them available if they are otherwise unavailable.
THE UCB WAS OF THE WRONG TYPE
The device geometry was incompatible for data set extend. The volume that will be used for the extend must have the same geometry (that is, 3380 versus 3390) as the first volume of the data.
THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR STRIPING
Refer to installation procedures.
THE DPCT WAS NOT AVAILABLE
The volume was not available to IOS.
THE UCB WAS NOT AVAILABLE
The volume was not available to IOS.
OF INSUFF TOTAL SPACE
The primary quantity requested was larger than the total capacity of the largest available volume. See z/OS DFSMSdfp Storage Administration for a detailed explanation.
OF INSUFF FREE SPACE FOR FAST VOLUME SELECTION
See z/OS DFSMSdfp Storage Administration for a detailed explanation.
OF THE USEEAV(NO) SPECIFICATION
All candidate EAVs were rejected because USEEAV(NO) was specified in SYS1.PARMLIB.
THEY WERE SPACE EFFICIENT VOLUMES
Space efficient volumes cannot be used for striped data sets
THEY WERE THE WRONG DEVICE TYPE FOR CLASS TRANSITION
Pick volumes with the correct device type for the class transition and resubmit the request.
NO ROOM IN VTOC OR INDEX (diagdata)
There is no room in the VTOC or VTOC index. For more information, see the DADSM CVAF diagnostic aid section in z/OS® DFSMSdfp Diagnosis.
