EZZ8136I

Explanation
 The area specified by the area value
contains only VIPA interfaces. The area might be  disjointed and OSPF
might behave unpredictably. If the area specified by the area value
is the backbone area (0.0.0.0), then the backbone area is disjointed
and OSPF  will not calculate routes correctly. If the area specified
by the area value is a non-backbone area and there
are no physical interfaces to the backbone on the same stack, the
VIPA area will not be properly connected to the backbone. The  backbone
area must be reachable from every area using either a physical  interface
or an OSPF virtual link. 
 In the message text: area
The identifier of the OSPF area in dotted decimal format.

System action
 OMPROUTE continues using the area as defined.

Operator response
 Notify the system programmer.

System programmer response
 To avoid this message, modify the
OMPROUTE configuration file so that VIPAs are  not isolated in their
own area.  See the OMPROUTE configuration file in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration
Reference for more information.
 Putting all
the VIPAs in an area that is different from the area where all the
stack's physical interfaces are located is not the most efficient
configuration because all VIPAs will  be inter-area resources to all
other OSPF areas.  In this case, an OSPF virtual  link is required
to connect that area to the backbone area (0.0.0.0). See steps for configuring OSPF and RIP (IPv4 and IPv6) in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration
Guide for more information.
