Explanation
I/O for device device_number did
not complete in the allotted time. This message can result when a
storage control session has a large enough number of updated records
in cache that it cannot process a read or a write I/O without affecting
the application, or if there are no paths available to the device.
If XRC is running in a channel extender environment, this error can
indicate that an extended line-outage condition has occurred.
The
I/O can be a read or a write command, either from primary volumes
or to secondary volumes. The reason for the error, by
function_code,
is as follows:
- function_code
- Description
- 1
- Creating a storage control session
- 2
- Adding a volume to a storage control session during
volume initialization, or changing device blocking threshold.
- 3
- Reading tracks during volume synchronization
- 4
- Writing tracks during volume synchronization
- 5
- Reading updated records from a storage control session
- 6
- Writing updated records to a secondary volume
- 7
- Removing a volume from a storage control session
- 8
- Ending a storage control session
- 9
- Retrieving storage control session information
- 10
- Suspending a volume
- 11 – 15
- Retrieving storage control session information
- 17
- Retrieving storage control session information
- 18
- Retrieving storage control session bitmap for a device
- 20
- Adding a volume to a storage control session during volume resynchronization
- 21
- Changing device blocking threshold.
- 22
- I/O timeout retrieving write pacing information
System action
The operation that is doing the I/O is failed.
If the I/O is associated with data movement, XRC can suspend volumes
as a result. XQUERY report data fields can also contain asterisks
for data that could not be retrieved from the storage control.
System programmer response
Use the DEVSERV command to determine
and correct the cause of the delay to XRC I/O operations.
