Explanation

Initial program load (IPL) cannot continue processing because the subchannel for one of the following devices is not operational:
  • The IPL device.
  • The IODF volume, as specified in the first four characters of the LOAD parameter.
Note: If you did not specify an IODF volume in the LOAD parameter, this wait state is due to a problem with the subchannel for the IPL device.

System action

The system enters a non-restartable wait state.

Operator response

Do one of the following:
  • Make sure the IPL device and the IODF volume are enabled and reIPL the system.
  • IPL from a different device, or IPL using a different IODF volume.
  • Contact hardware support.
