ISG005I
GRS START OPTION INVALID – text

Explanation

text is one of the following:

MULTIPLE GRS COMPLEXES EXIST

SYSTEM sysname ALREADY A GRS SYSTEM

MORE THAN 31 SYSTEMS KNOWN BY THIS SYSTEM

SYSTEM sysname EXISTS IN A GRS COMPLEX

The GRS=START system parameter is incorrect for one of the following reasons:
MULTIPLE GRS COMPLEXES EXIST
This system has channel-to-channel (CTC) devices to one or more systems in two or more global resource serialization complexes. For example, this system has links to system SYS01 and system SYS03, but system SYS01 belongs to one global resource serialization complex and system SYS03 belongs to another.
SYSTEM sysname ALREADY A GRS SYSTEM
One of the following is true:
  • This system has CTC links to a system that:
    • Has the same system name as this system
    • Specified the GRS=START or GRS=JOIN system parameter
    • Has not finished processing the GRS= system parameter
  • This system has the same name as a system that is already part of the global resource serialization complex. The system name is still known by systems in the global resource serialization complex. This can occur when you reIPL this system if the following occurred during a previous IPL:
    • This system was an active global resource serialization system.
    • This system failed, disrupting the global resource serialization ring.
    • This system was unable to become an active global resource serialization system because another global resource serialization system entered a VARY GRS(ALL), RESTART command.
MORE THAN 31 SYSTEMS KNOWN BY THIS SYSTEM
This system knows of more than 31 systems. Each of these systems is in one of the following categories:
  • The system is in the global resource serialization complex.
  • The system specified the GRS=START or GRS=JOIN system parameter, but the system has not yet finished processing that parameter.
SYSTEM sysname EXISTS IN A GRS COMPLEX
A global resource serialization complex already exists, and sysname is part of that complex.

System action

This system issues message ISG009D and waits for the operator to reply.

Operator response

Consult this system programmer, and see the operator response for message ISG009D, or do one of the following:
MULTIPLE GRS COMPLEXES EXIST
If you want this system to join one of the existing global resource serialization complexes, physically disable the system's CTC links to all other systems except the following:
  • Systems that are in the global resource serialization complex that this system is to join
  • Systems that are not in, and will not be in, any global resource serialization complex
Reply JOIN to message ISG009D.
SYSTEM sysname ALREADY A GRS SYSTEM
If this message appears because this system has the same system name as another system, reIPL this system with a different system name. Before using a different system name, be sure there is a GRSDEF statement for that system name in the appropriate GRSCNFxx parmlib member.

If this message appears because this system was part of the global resource serialization complex during a previous IPL, have the operator of an active global resource serialization system enter the VARY GRS(sysname),PURGE command. Then reply JOIN to message ISG009D.

MORE THAN 31 SYSTEMS KNOWN BY THIS SYSTEM
Modify this system's CTC links so that this system has connections to a maximum of 31 other systems. If one or more of those systems belong to an existing global resource serialization complex, and you want this system to join that complex reply JOIN to message ISG009D. If none of those systems are part of a global resource serialization complex, and you want this system to start one, reply START to message ISG009D.
SYSTEM sysname EXISTS IN A GRS COMPLEX
Do one of the following:
  • If you want this system to join the global resource serialization complex that sysname is part of, reply JOIN to message ISG009D.
  • If you want this system to start a separate global resource serialization complex, reconfigure this system so that it does not have CTC links to any of the systems in the existing global resource serialization complex and is not sharing resources with any of those systems. Then reply START to message ISG009D.

System programmer response

If SYSTEM sysname EXISTS IN A GRS COMPLEX often appears when you IPL this system, change this system's GRS= system parameter to JOIN.
