Error description
On certain EMC microcode levels TDMF's Soft Fence request fails. Subsequent TDMF processing fails in swap backout processing leaving the volume in an inconsistent state on participating systems.
Local fix
Use the TDMF NOFENCESOURCE option
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All TDMF users who's EMC DASD * * microcode supports the Soft Fence * * function. This may have been added * * during a recent ucode update. This * * code maybe known as 'zboost'. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: At the end of a migration if z/OS and * * the CU support Soft Fence TDMF will * * put the SRC volume into a Soft Fence * * state. * * EMC reject the Soft Fence CCW * * when the source device is an RDF * * device. * * Due to the error TDMF will start a * * backout process, all Agents will * * swap back to the original SRC but * * the Master will swap the volume. * * This leads to the Agents using * * the origial SRC and the Master * * system using the new TGT. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** An integrity problem exists if the Agents and Master do not backout the swap, the symptoms are message GTD2458E and IOS000I nnnn,yy,CMD,F7,0E00, 80000000E900000400FF001200000004E5715A9B30C50F04000040E2000000 FAILING PARAMETER LIST DATA = 29000100800000000000000000000000 C5000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000 0000
Problem conclusion
A circumvention for this problem is to code the TDMF parm NOFENCESOURCE. It is not currently understood why a valid Soft Fence request is being rejected to RDF devices.
