IST384I
command FOR ID = nodename FAILED

Explanation

VTAM® issues this message when processing of the command for nodename failed. For example, a deactivate command failed because no storage was available to continue.

nodename is the name of the resource and is either an NCP or logical unit (LU).

System action

VTAM rejects the command.

Operator response

  • If message IST383I or IST1268I precedes this message, enter a VARY INACT,TYPE=FORCE command to deactivate the resource.
  • If this is a storage problem, messages IST561I, IST562I, IST563I, IST564I, IST565I or IST566I may be issued prior to this message to indicate the type of storage affected.

    If message IST467I is displayed with contacted error type 5, see the programmer response of that message for additional information.

    Issue the DISPLAY BFRUSE command to display storage used by VTAM buffer pools and information about the common service area (CSA). Total VTAM private storage information is also displayed in message IST981I. Issue the DISPLAY STORUSE command to display storage usage for storage pools.

    Save the system log and request a dump for problem determination.

System programmer response

For a storage problem, verify that the operator entered the buffer pool or CSA start options as specified in the start procedures.

Increase storage as required. For insufficient storage errors, you might want to redefine your buffer pool or CSA start options. If the start option cannot be modified using the MODIFY VTAMOPTS command, you must modify the VTAM start options file (ATCSTRxx), and restart VTAM to use the start option.

See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Operation for more information on the DISPLAY BFRUSE, DISPLAY STORUSE, and MODIFY VTAMOPTS commands. The z/OS Communications Server: SNA Diagnosis Vol 1, Techniques and Procedures provides additional information.

See the z/OS Communications Server: SNA Diagnosis Vol 2, FFST Dumps and the VIT for information about analyzing dumps and about analyzing storage using the VIT analysis tool, if external trace is active.
