PFID pfid_value ALLOCATION FAILURE - PFID IS NOT DEFINED

Explanation

VTAM® issues this message when it attempts to activate a 10GbE RoCE Express® interface, but the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) function ID (PFID) value is not defined for this LPAR.

In the message text:
pfid_value
The PFID value that VTAM used in the failed activation attempt.

System action

Processing continues.

Operator response

Issue the D PCIE command and generate a Netstat CONFIG/-f report, and then provide the output to the system programmer.

System programmer response

  1. Determine the correct PFID value for this system.
  2. Use the D PCIE command output to verify that the PFID value has been correctly defined in the HCD. If the PFID is not defined properly, update the HCD configuration to include the correct PFID value.
  3. If the PFID is defined correctly in the HCD, use the Netstat CONFIG/-f report to verify that the correct PFID is defined to TCP/IP. If the PFID is not defined correctly, change the SMCR parameter on the GLOBALCONFIG statement in the TCP/IP profile of the TCP/IP stack that is attempting to activate this 10GbE RoCE Express interface to specify the correct PFID value.
  4. Instruct the operator to issue the necessary commands to activate the changes that were made to the HCD or the TCP/IP profile.

User response

Not applicable.

Problem determination

None.
