BPXF029E
ROOT FILE SYSTEM name WAS NOT MOUNTED. RETURN CODE = return_code, REASON CODE = reason_code

Explanation

During z/OS UNIX initialization or in response to the SET OMVS=(xx) command, the system could not mount the specified file system.

In the message text:
name
The file system name specified on a ROOT statement in the BPXPRMxx parmlib member is either the name of the file system (FILESYSTEM parameter), or the name of the DD statement (DDNAME parameter) used to allocate it. For the HFS file system, FILESYSTEM refers to the name of the HFS data set containing the file system.
return_code
The return code from the mount request.
reason_code
The reason code from the mount request. For an explanation of the return code and reason code, see z/OS UNIX System Services Messages and Codes.

System action

The file system is not mounted. The system is activated without a ROOT.

For a shared file system configuration, if the root file system was already mounted and owned by another system, OMVS will fail to initialize and will shutdown.

Operator response

Contact the system programmer.

System programmer response

Do one of the following:
  • Ask the operator to correct the problem in BPXPRMxx. IPL the system to start z/OS UNIX with the revised member.
  • Ask a superuser to enter the corrected information using the TSO/E MOUNT command. In this case specify '/' as the mountpoint.

Consult the documentation for the file system type specified with the TYPE parameter on the ROOT statement in the BPXPRMxx member specified to z/OS UNIX. Make changes as appropriate.

If this is a shared file system configuration and the ROOT file system is already mounted, this mount failure may be a temporary condition. If the reported RETURN CODE is EMVSERR (x"9D") and the REASON CODE is JRTgtMemberInactive (X"xxxx03CC") then the server for the ROOT file system has failed and a new server is being established. Issue the F OMVS,RESTART system command to restart OMVS.
