DMO0007I   LSPACE TIMED OUT FOR DEVICE dddd

Explanation

An attempt was made to obtain capacity information for device dddd, using the LSPACE service. A timeout occurred while waiting for LSPACE to complete.

The Device Manager uses the LSPACE system service to obtain capacity information for each ONLINE dasd device. To ensure that LSPACE I/O will not cause the Device Manager to wait too long, a WAITTIME is established for each LSPACE request. The default WAITTIME is 45 seconds. At the end of 45 seconds, the device manager LSPACE subtask is DETACHED, the device that was waiting is skipped, and a new LSPACE subtask is ATTACHED.

The DETACH of the waiting subtask results in a 33E abend (no dump is produced because it is suppressed by Device Manager during the DETACH).

System action

The Device Manager remains operational.

System programmer response

If a device consistently causes an LSPACE timeout you may increase the Device Manager WAITTIME. For example, MODIFY DMOSTART,WAITTIME=60 will set the wait time to 60 seconds.
