IDX INITIALIZATION FAILED FOR trlename DEVICE device_number CODE code

Explanation

This message is the first in a group of messages that VTAM® issues when an identification exchange (IDX) device failed to initialize. A complete description of the message group follows.

IST1650I

VTAM issues this message while processing an OPENPATH request unit when initializing an identification exchange (IDX) with a device, such as the IBM® S/390® Open Systems Adapter or a HiperSockets™ (iQDIO) adapter.
  • The trlename value is the name of the device, as defined on the TRLE definition statement in the TRL major node or dynamically created in the ISTTRL major node.
  • The device_number value is the hexadecimal address of the WRITE or READ subchannel, as defined on the WRITE or READ operand on the TRLE definition statement in the TRL major node.
  • The code value is a 1-byte hexadecimal value that indicates the reason that the device failed to initialize. The code value is one of the following:
    • If the code value is less than X'80', it is a code that is generated by the OSA or the HiperSockets adapter. See the OSA IDX failure return codes information in zEnterprise System and System z10 OSA-Express Customer's Guide and Reference for a description of the failures generated by the OSA. Contact the IBM Software Support Center for failures generated by the HiperSocket adapter.
    • If the code value is greater than or equal to X'80', then that code is byte 3 of a data link control (DLC) status code that describes the error. Byte 2 of the DLC status code that describes this type of error is X'40'. Together, bytes 2 and 3 of a DLC status code form the completion code. For example, if code is X'80', this error is documented as completion code X'4080'. See the completion code information in z/OS Communications Server: IP and SNA Codes for a description of the completion code.
IST1574I
  • This message displays the IDX received from (if preceeded by message IST1651I) or sent to (if preceded by message IST1652I) the IDX device.
  • offset is the hexadecimal offset in the IDX.
  • hexdata_1, hexdata_2, hexdata_3 and hexdata_4 each display 4 bytes of the IDX in hexadecimal format.
  • EBCDIC_data displays 16 bytes of the IDX in EBCDIC format. Unprintable characters are represented by periods.
IST1651I
  • This message is a header for the information displayed in message IST1574I for the IDX received from the IDX device.
IST1652I
  • This message is a header for the information displayed in message IST1574I for the IDX sent by VTAM to the IDX device.

System action

The IDX connection is not established.

Operator response

Save the system log and print the TRL major node definition for problem determination.

For code 8B (insufficient storage), wait a short time and reenter the command. If VTAM continues to issue this message, enter the DISPLAY STORUSE and DISPLAY CSM commands. Save the system log and dump for problem determination.

System programmer response

For code 82, verify that the subchannel address in the I/O generation and in the TRL major node are correct.

For code 8B (insufficient storage):

For code 8C, verify that the TRL major node name is configured correctly in the IDX device.

For an apparent software problem, take the following actions:
  • If you have access to IBMLink, search for known problems with similar symptoms. If no applicable matches are found, report the problem to IBM using the Electronic Technical Report (ETR) option on IBMLink.
  • If you do not have access to IBMLink, report the problem to the IBM software support center.
