IEE1379I{VARY REJECTED, PATH(dev,xx) RESERVED|xx NOT AVAILABLE}

Explanation

A reconfiguration request asked that the system vary the path to a shared device on a specified channel path either online or offline. However, the path is temporarily reserved and cannot be varied offline, or the device is reserved, which prevents the system from verifying that the path to be varied is operational.

Note that when a reserved condition is detected during an attempt to VARY a path offline, VARY PATH processing retries the I/O a number of times before issuing the message.

In the message text:
dev
The device number.
xx
The specified channel path.

System action

The system does not perform the requested reconfiguration for the device. The system continues processing.

Operator response

If desired, enter the VARY PATH command again after the shared device has been released.
