OA46963: SOFT FENCE NOT DISPLAYED IN DEVSERV WHEN DEVICE IS DUPLEX PPRC SECONDARY

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a hyperswap occurs and the secondary PPRC device (old PPRC
  primary) is in a soft fenced state, the soft fenced status is
  not displayed in DEVSERV PATHS.  Also, soft fenced status is
  not displayed in DEVSERV QDASD when the volume is offline.
  
  DS QD QHA (query host access) doesn't display information if the
  control blocks have not been built by the host because none of
  the devices have been previously online.

Problem conclusion

• 1. DEVSERV PATHS command is updated to detect and report Soft
  and Spid fence conditions for PPRC secondary volumes.
  
  2. DEVSERV QDASD command is updated to detect and display Soft
  and Spid fence condtions for offline volumes.
  
  3. DEVSERV QDASD with QHA option is updated to read feature
  codes directly from the device and display QHA information
  even if the subsystem control blocks have not been built.
