Error description

• MSGDSNV086E -xxxx DB2 ABNORMAL TERMINATION REASON=00E80084
  The DB2 Message and Codes manual (all releases), notes
  return code 00E80084:
  Explanation: A resource manager provided notification of
               failure during subsystem startup notification
               processing.  This abend reason code is issued
               by the following CSECT: DSNYSIRM
  Operator Response: Verify that you entered the -START DB2
                     command using the correct DSNZPARM init
                     parm module. etc..
  ---------------------------------------------------------------
  This operator response is rarely the cause of this error, and
  the ZPARM inference is vague and misleading.  This infoapar
  will list several more common reasons for DB2 startup to
  terminate and issue this RC00E80084 error code.  In all cases,
  the true 'OPERATOR RESPONSE', is to check the  MVS SYSLOG  for
  messages that  precede  the DSNV086E shutdown message.
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  (1) During DB2 coldstart, DB2 Log Manager will force a log
      switch.  If there are no ACTIVE logs to switch to, then
      DB2 will terminate with the E80084 code.  User will need
      to allocate more logs using the DSNJU003 Change Log
      Inventory standalone utility. See your DB2 Command and
      Utility Reference manual for parms and JCL.
  
  (2) During DB2 startup, an IRLM error may cause DB2 to issue
      the 00E80084 termcode.  Check your SYSLOG for IRLM errors
      that precede this termination message.  Attempt to start
      IRLM alone, without DB2.  Note: If IRLM does not startup,
      then DB2 will never startup.  DB2 does not run without IRLM.
         Correct any IRLM error first, then startup DB2.
      Note: the default for IRLM autostart is 300 seconds.
      This means that if DB2 is to autostart IRLM, IRLM
      must comeup completely within the 300 second time period.
      If it fails to do so, then DB2 will be terminated with
      the E80084 termination code.  DSN6SPRM IRLMSWT (SPRM+50)
  
  (3) DB2 startup error RC00E30081 then DB2 terminates.
      In the IRLMPROC, JCL points to the wrong IRLM subsystem.
      This IRLM subsystem may be valid and startable, but
      it is NOT the same IRLM that is defined in DSNZPARM
      SubSystem Name (IRLMSID).
  
  (4) Allocating the ACTIVE logs with improper VSAM dataset
      SHAREOPTIONS.  The termination code will be preceded
      by MSGDSNJ250E and MSGDSNJ251E.  For DB2 datasharing
      members, all ACTIVE log VSAM LDS should be defined
      with SHAREOPTIONS(2 3).  User can use the IDCAMS ALTER
      command to change the VSAM shroptns to the appropriate
      (crossregion crosssystem) values.  See manual:
         DFSMS/MVS Access Method Services for the ICF
  
  (5) There are several BSDS related problems that will result
      in the 00E80084 termination:
      (a) BSDS timestamp mismatch between the 2 BSDS datasets.
      (b) BSDS End OF Log (EOF) RBA mismatch.
      (c) BSDS RBA higher than any known RBA during NON-coldstart.
      (d) Bad Active LOG entry in BSDS
      (e) Bad, invalid record read from the BSDS
      (f) MSGDSNJ112E Active LOGs defined incorrectly to BSDS.
  
  (6) In regards to the DSNZPARM, what may occur would be that
      in the ZPARM is a pointer to the associated ICF catalog.
      If you started DB2x, pointing to the ZPARMs of DB2y,
      this catalog mismatch might be sensed.  This error would
      usually be preceded by a VSAM open error.
       DSNZPARM: DSN6SPRM CATALOG  (CATALOG ALIAS SPRMVCAT)
  
  (7) The Abend Reason code 00E80084 may also be issued if there
      are storage related problems.
      The storage shortage may not be seen in the SYSLOG. JOBLOG
      or EREP data.
      If no other conditions are found for the failure, the
      current common storage utilization should be monitored using
      RMF or monitors that display common storage usage.

  Note:  This E80084 error is a DB2 startup termination err.
  In your DB2 Administration Guide there is a section called:
     STARTING and STOPPING DB2 (R310 VOLII chap6 page15)
  When reporting this ABTERM, it is very helpfull to note to
  the service rep, what was the last of these startup messages
  that was presented before the DSNV086E Abterm was presented.
  These messages along with any of the aforementioned messages
  can be found in the MVS SYSLOG.
