Explanation
One of the following conditions exists:
- The indicated XCF Group Member was stalled and impacting the sysplex.
The Sysplex Failure Management (SFM) policy MEMSTALLTIME specification
for the local system allows XCF to take automatic action to attempt
to relieve the sympathy sickness condition. XCF is terminating the
member.
- The indicated XCF Group Member is a critical member
and was impaired. The impairment condition is possibly preventing
the member from performing any useful work for the function provided
by the group member. XCF is terminating the member.
- The indicated XCF Group Member is being terminated
because some member of the group invoked the XCF Terminate Member
Service (IXCTERM) to terminate the member.
If a previously requested termination does not complete,
XCF may initiate a new termination request at a higher scope to ensure
that the member terminates. Such escalation can occur even if the
previous termination request resolved the original sympathy sickness
problem. The member continues to consume sysplex resources until termination
completes.
In the message text:
- grpname
- The name of the XCF group.
- membername
- The member name.
- jobname
- The name of the job.
- asid
- The hexadecimal ASID of the address space.
- SFM | XCF action reason
- SFM or XCF is doing the following action for
the following reason:
- action
- Either SFM or XCF is doing one of the following:
- TERMINATING JOIN TASK
- The member task will be terminated.
- TERMINATING JOB STEP TASK
- The member job step task will be terminated.
- TERMINATING ADDRESS SPACE
- The member address space will be terminated. Task recovery and
task-level resource managers will get control.
- MEMTERMING ADDRESS SPACE
- The member address space will be terminated. Task recovery and
task-level resource managers will not get control.
- TERMINATING SYSTEM
- The system on which the member resides will be removed from the
sysplex.
- MEMTERMING ADDRESS SPACE
- A previous attempt to terminate the member has not completed.
The member is being terminated at a higher scope to ensure that member
termination completes.
- reason
- One of the following:
- TO RELIEVE SYMPATHY SICKNESS
- Member being terminated to relieve sympathy sickness. If previous
termination request failed to relieve the sympathy sickness condition,
the member is being terminated at a higher scope to ensure that termination
completes.
- TO FORCE COMPLETION
- A previous attempt to terminate the member has not completed.
The member is being terminated at a higher scope to ensure that member
termination completes.
- TO RELIEVE IMPAIRMENT CONDITION
- Critical member being terminated to relieve an impairment condition.
If previous termination request failed to relieve the impairment condition,
the member is being terminated at a higher scope to ensure that termination
completes.
- FOR IXCTERM FROM SYSTEM sysname
- The member is being terminated because a peer group member on
the system named sysname invoked the XCF Terminate
Member Service (IXCTERM).
- ISSUED BY MEMBER srcmemname JOB srcjobname ASID asid
- srcmemname
- The name of the member that issued the IXCTERM request.
- srcjobname
- The name of the job for the member that issued the IXCTERM request.
- asid
- The hexadecimal ASID of the address space for the member that
issued the IXCTERM request.
System action
XCF either terminates the member or removes the
system from the sysplex in an attempt to relieve the sympathy sickness
condition. XCF will initially request termination at the smallest
scope expected to provide relief. For example, it is generally preferred
that a member task be terminated before the member address space.
If necessary, XCF may escalate the termination to a higher scope.
Operator response
The application or subsystem may or may not
recover after its XCF member is terminated. If not, you may need to
shutdown and/or restart the affected application, subsystem, or system.
