Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of z/VM * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: APPLY PTF * **************************************************************** z/VM's current support for Storage Controller Health Messages received for DASD devices currently makes no indication to the OPERATOR console that the event has occurred. The event is simply indicated to any interested or potentially affected guest operating system.
Problem conclusion
A new message HCP6433I is being created to indicate to the OPERATOR console when a storage controller health message is received for a device. The new message takes the following format: HCPSVI6433I Storage controller health message on device RDEV HCPSVI6433I MC = cc, TOKEN = dddd, SSID = xxxx, IDENT = iiii THE FOLLOWING CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE SYSTEM REFERENCE LIBRARIES: ***START PUBLICATION CHANGE************************************* PUBLICATION TITLE: z/VM: CP Messages and Codes RELEASE: Version 7 Release 2 ORDER NUMBER: GC24-6270-07 ------------------------------------------- CHAPTER: 3 PAGE: 733 ABSTRACT: New message description for HCP6433I BODY: HCP6433I Storage controller health message on device {rdev} MC = mc, TOKEN = tttt, SSID = ssid, IDENT = iiii Explanation: The storage controller has detected a health condition that affects one or more devices. In the message text: MC = mc The message code indicating the health of the storage controller. mc is one of the following: 01-3F Moderate severity 40-BF Serious severity C0-FF Critical severity 01 - Device preemptive reconstruct mode 02 - RAID array rebuild in progress 03 - RAID array rebuild complete 04 - Server offline due to error 05 - Server offline due to service 06 - Dual servers online 07 - Device adapter fenced or quiesced 08 - Device adapter no longer fenced or quiesced 09 - SFI code activation in progress 0A - SFI code activation complete 0B - Host adapter code activation in progress 0C - Host adapter code activation complete 0D - Host adapter code recovery in progress 0E - Host adapter code recovery complete 0F - Last device adapter reset recovery time is excessive 10 - PPRC path degraded 11 - PPRC path no longer degraded 20 - PPRC secondary controller recovery action 21 - PPRC secondary controller warmstart recovery action 22 - PPRC secondary controller failover recovery action 23 - PPRC secondary controller failback recovery action 40 - IO operations timing out on PPRC secondary controller 41 - Data error during media scrub 42 - Last device adapter reset 80 - Server multiple warmstarts C0 - Pinned nonretryable error on device C1 - One or more devices unavailable due to NVS hardware failure C2 - One or more devices unavailable due to NVS hardware offline C3 - RAID rank unavailable C4 - Last device adapter reset recovery time is excessive TOKEN = tttt The unique value for this logical storage subsystem (LSS). Note that the message issued for each LSS contains the same token. SSID = ssid SSID for this subsystem IDENT = iiii Variable identifier data based on the message code: MC=01, 02, 03 - Rank ID MC=07, 08, 0F - Device Adapter ID MC=0D, 0E, 10, 11 - Interface ID System action: If a HYPERSWAP is not in progress, the message is propagated to any machine with dedicated or full-pack minidisk access to the affected devices. If any of the affected devices are HYPERSWAP enabled, the message is also logged in an SVMREC. User response: None. ***END PUBLICATION CHANGE***************************************
