If the unit is an output only device, it will be referenced as O-dev (for example, VARY O-dev,ONLINE).
The system rejects the command.
If VARY CN(xx),AUTH=value or VARY CN(nnnnnnnn),AUTH=value was entered, and the console identifier or name is incorrect or the issuer is not authorized, the system does not change the authority value for the specified console.
If a VARY CONSOLE command was entered for a console name that is a SMCS console or a subsystem console, the system issues this message to show the status.
If a VARY CONSOLE command was entered for device number dev or console name nnnnnnnn and the device is not active and not ready, the system issues this message to show the status.
If the unit is offline when an UNLOAD command is entered, then the system does not process the UNLOAD command. For example, if the UNLOAD 13D command is entered, when 13D is offline, the system issues message IEE313I as follows:
IEE313I 13D UNIT REF. INVALID
If a VARY device command (for example, VARY dev1-dev2,OFFLINE) is entered and each of the specified units is individually incorrect, the system displays dev1-dev2 in the message text.
Also, check the SYSLOG of the system where the console should have been defined for the presence of message IEA195I; this indicates that one or more console definitions were not accepted. Issue the "D C,L" command and see whether the console mentioned in message IEE313I is listed as a validly-defined console.
