IOS062E
ERROR ON CHANNEL PATHS - STOP I/O REQUESTS FROM SHARING SYSTEMS OR USE IOACTION STOP, DEV=(xxxx) TO STOP I/O TO SHARED DEVICES {—SINGLE CHANNEL PATH (chp) BEING RECOVERED| —MULTIPLE CHANNEL PATHS BEING RECOVERED }

Explanation

An error occurred on the specified channel path, which has reserved devices (such as DASD) or assigned devices (such as tapes).

In the message text:
chp
The channel path identifier (CHPID).

System action

The system does not use the channel path until recovery is complete. Recovery waits until the operator restarts the system. The system issues message IOS204E (or IOS201E) when the I/O on other processors that share devices can be started.

Note: IOS062E is issued via disabled console communication (DCCF) processing when a DASD device has been found on the channel path undergoing recovery, or message IOS063E was issued but a response was not received within a 3 minute interval.

Operator response

Do the following:
  1. Attempt to prevent the other processors that share devices from initiating I/O by entering the IOACTION STOP command. If the IOACTION STOP command fails, or multiple channel paths are being recovered, sharing processors need to be stopped to prevent I/O activity to the shared devices.
  2. After the IOACTION STOP command is successful or sharing processors have been stopped, restart the system in error.
