switch_type DEVICE REQUIRES COMPATIBLE CHANNEL PATH BUT TYPE cc FOUND [TYPE=channel_path_type]

Explanation

A VARY command was issued for a switch device. The device support code attempted to validate that the channel path type was compatible with the switch type.

In the message text:
switch_type
The type of switch; for example, ESCON®, FICON®.
cc
The channel path type found for the switch device. Descriptions of all the supported channel path types can be displayed by using the D M=CHP command.
channel_path_type
If provided, the channel path type found.

System action

The VARY command fails. If VARY ddd,ONLINE was issued, the devices remain offline. If VARY PATH(dddd,cc),ONLINE was issued, the device path remains offline.

Operator response

Make sure that the operating system and channel subsystem are using the correct I/O configuration definition. DISPLAY IOS,CONFIG displays the currently active IODF (I/O definition file) and currently active I/O configuration for the channel subsystem. The MVS™ ACTIVATE command can be used to dynamically switch to the correct I/O configuration definition. Then the VARY command should be retried.

System programmer response

Correct the configuration error and retry the VARY command. Configuration errors can be corrected dynamically by updating the I/O configuration definition with the HCD (hardware configuration definition) and issuing the MVS ACTIVATE command.
