Failsoft mode

A system enters this emergency mode when the data set name table specifies that the system should be enabled for sysplex communication at IPL time, but this is not possible due to environmental conditions. For more information see Failsoft processing.

Attention: You should be aware that certain sysplex recovery scenarios might require you to bring up a member in XCF-local mode. This causes the system to enter RACF® failsoft mode. You will be unable to log onto any TSO ID to proceed with recovery unless you follow the recommendations in Sysplex recovery scenarios that require XCF-local mode and Emergency data set name tables.
