Explanation

Forcing the channel path offline may have serious effects on the system. Message IEE100E precedes this message and explains the effects of forcing the channel path offline.

System action

The system waits for the operator to reply.

Operator response

Check status of alternate paths. Vary online any paths that should be online. Defer reconfiguration, if possible. Otherwise, recover the failing tasks.

  • Reply CANCEL to cancel the CONFIG command and keep the channel path online.
  • Reply CONTINUE to force the channel path offline and keep the devices listed in message IEE100E allocated and forced offline. Any I/O request to any of these devices results in a permanent I/O error. To allow any job associated with an allocated device to continue, enter the CONFIG command to provide an alternate path to the device.
    Note: Do not reply CONTINUE if a device that is critical to the operation of the system is involved, or you may have to reIPL the system.
