OSA|IQD DEVICES REQUIRE AN OSA|IQD CHANNEL PATH BUT TYPE cc FOUND [TYPE=channel_path_type]

Explanation

A VARY command was issued for an OSA (open systems adapter) device or an IQD (internally queued direct) device. The device support code attempted to validate that the channel path type was OSA or IQD. The OSA and OSAD (open systems adapter diagnostic) devices must be defined on OSA channel paths. The IQD devices must be defined on IQD channel paths.

In the message text:
cc
The channel path type found for the OSA or IQD device. Descriptions of all the supported channel path types can be displayed by using this command:

   D M=CHP

channel_path_type
If provided, the channel path type found.

System action

The VARY command fails. If VARY dddd,ONLINE was issued, the device remains 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 command 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.
