APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-----------------------------------------------
When attempting to synchronize a Geographic Mirror configuration
for the first time, it is critical to ensure that there is
enough tracking space in the IASP which is able to be allocated.
When there is not enough tracking space able to be allocated,
the system could crash and cause an MSD to be generated with the
following SRC words:
SRC word 1 . . . . . . . . . . : B6005121
SRC word 2 . . . . . . . . . . : 0D200061
SRC word 3 . . . . . . . . . . : 0002000A
SRC word 4 . . . . . . . . . . : 00100013
SRC word 5 . . . . . . . . . . : 00008000
SRC word 6 . . . . . . . . . . : 00000000
SRC word 7 . . . . . . . . . . : 00000000
SRC word 8 . . . . . . . . . . : 00000000
SRC word 9 . . . . . . . . . . : 00000000

How to avoid: Add more disk capacity to the IASP and follow that
with a vary off and vary on in order to allow the tracking space
to properly allocate.

CORRECTION FOR APAR MA46528 :
-----------------------------
The error condition encountered when insufficient storage is
available for the tracking space will be corrected.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR MA46528 :
--------------------------------
None.
