Client messages

This is a listing of the messages that the NFS client generates. A message, explanation, and recommended action are supplied where applicable. Data is substituted for any part of a message shown here in italics.

Messages that appear on the z/OS operator's console for the NFS client will be in the following example format: GFSC700I z/OS NETWORK FILE SYSTEM CLIENT (HDZ221N ) started. HDZ221N, GFSCMAIN, Jun 14 2012 15:29:05 .

Table 1 shows the message format on the NFS client operators console.

Table 1. NFS client z/OS operators console message format
Value	Description
GFSC	Component identifier for the NFS client

Table 2 shows the message format in the NFS client log data set.

Table 2. NFS client log data set message format

The messages are listed in numerical order (the time stamp, message level, and programming support information are not shown).

Note: Messages GFSC098I and GFSC099I are intended for IBM support personnel to use when they are performing diagnosis. They do not indicate a problem with NFS, but do provide statistics on NFS processing. As such, an extensive number of GFSC098I and GFSC099I messages may be issued.

Table 3 shows common variables in the message text.
