IEA491E dev, [volser], PPRC SUSPENDED, error-reason, (PRI)=aaaa-bbbbb,CCA=xx (SEC)=aaaa-bbbbb,CCA=xx, SENSE=sense
Explanation
The peer-to-peer remote copy operation (PPRC) has been suspended at the time indicated for the error reason stated in the message. This message, IEA491E, is detected and issued by only one of the systems where the device is attached.
- dev
- The device number.
- volser
- This is the volume serial number of the PPRC volume pair encountering the failure. Note that when a failure is received by an alias device or an offline device, the volser is not available, so the message text does not have the volser.
- error-reason
- The error reasons are:
- PRIMARY DEVICE WRITE FAILURE
- SECONDARY SUBSYSTEM FAILURE
- COMMUNICATION TO SECONDARY FAILURE
- CRITICAL STATE, ALL WRITES FAILED
- SECONDARY NOT READY, INTERVENTION_REQUIRED
- SECONDARY TRACK FORMAT NOT SAME AS PRIMARY
- ESTABLISH FLASHCOPY WITH PRESERVE MIRROR FAILURE
- MEDIA ERROR OCCURRED ON SECONDARY VOLUME
- (PRI)=aaaa-bbbbb,CCA=xx
- This is the primary PPRC volume storage control serial number
followed by the primary volume’s channel connection address.
The reported serial number can be one of the following:
- aaaa — The first four bytes of the storage control serial number.
- bbbbb — The last five bytes of the 12-byte sequence number portion of the serial number. This number can be found on the lower left-hand portion of the storage control operator panel.
- xx — The two-byte channel connection address.
- (SEC)=aaaa-bbbbb,CCA=xx
- This is the PPRC secondary volume’s storage control serial
number followed by the secondary volume’s channel connection
address. The reported serial number can be one of the following:
- aaaa— The first four bytes of the storage control serial number.
- bbbbb — The last five bytes of the 12-byte sequence number portion of the serial number. This number is found on the lower left-hand portion of the storage control operator panel.
- xx — The two-byte channel connection address.
- sense
- The 32 characters of sense data reported by the device.
xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx
System action
Unless CRIT(YES) has been specified when the PPRC pair was established, the processing continues in suspended state.
Based on the specific error reason, the primary volume storage control continues to keep track of changed cylinders, such that after the error is corrected, you may select the RESYNC option to reestablish the PPRC pair. However, depending on the nature of the error, if there is a possibility that data has been lost on the secondary subsystem or device, the recovery action requires a full copy after the problem has been fixed and the PPRC pair reestablished.
Operator response
The system issues this message because of a hardware error. Follow your installation’s procedures for reporting this error.
Programmer response
Problem determination
Note that in the case of the Critical
State
message, the actual error causing the message has previously
occurred.
