CONFIG configname UNABLE TO DEFINE nodename — MAXIMUM NUMBER OF NETWORK ADDRESSES FOR HOST SUBAREA EXCEEDED

Explanation

While activating configuration configname, VTAM® exceeded the maximum number of network addresses in the host subarea. VTAM cannot define a new element in the host subarea. If an Enterprise Extender (EE) line, an EE PU, or an RTP PU was being activated, the request exceeded the limit of 16 776 960 extended element addresses. Therefore, VTAM failed to define a new network address for the resource.

System action

If nodename is all asterisks, the activation of configname fails. VTAM did not assign an element address to nodes in the major node definition.

If nodename is not all asterisks, the activation of configname continues and the node identified by nodename is marked invalid and is unusable in the VTAM network.

Operator response

Deactivate any unneeded segment in the host subarea to free network addresses, and deactivate and then activate configname. If VTAM continues to issue this message, save the system log for problem determination.

System programmer response

Check the output provided by the operator to ensure that all requirements for VTAM are correct for your system.

Since the maximum number of elements that can be assigned by VTAM in the host subarea has been reached, examine the possibility of allocating devices and applications to other subareas.

To use higher-order element addresses for LUs, you can specify YES for the ENHADDR start option. You must modify the start options file (ATCSTRxx) and restart VTAM to use the start option. For more information, see the z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide.
