command minornode FAILED: highernode NOT ACTIVE

Explanation

VTAM® issues this message when a command was entered to activate node minornode (a logical unit, physical unit, physical unit type 4, or link). The command failed because its higher-level node highernode is not currently in a valid state.

See Command and RU types in VTAM messages for a description of command.

minornode is a logical unit, physical unit (device or communication controller), or link.
  • If minornode is a logical unit, highernode is a physical unit. VTAM issues minornode as a network-qualified name in the form netid.name.
  • If minornode is a physical unit (device or communication controller), highernode is its link.
  • If minornode is a link, highernode is the physical unit specified on the PHYSRSC operand on the GROUP definition statement for the line group.

    If the physical unit, defined in the NCP definition, whose name is specified by the PHYSRSC keyword is a switched PU that is not currently connected, then highernode is the physical line.

highernode must be active before minornode can be activated.
