Reasons why QUIESCE fails to write to disk

The QUIESCE utility attempts to write pages of each table space to disk. Any of the following conditions can cause this write to fail:

  • The table space has a write error range.
  • The table space has deferred restart pending.
  • An I/O error occurs.

If any of the preceding conditions occur, QUIESCE terminates with a return code of 4 and issues a DSNU473I warning message.
