CHECK(IBMXCF,XCF_CF_STR_DUPLEX) found one or more allocated CF structures with DUPLEX specified as ALLOWED or ENABLED, but the structure is not duplexed. When a structure is allocated with a DUPLEX value of either ALLOWED or ENABLED, the structure should be duplexed to support intended redundancy and recoverability. Duplexing a structure provides redundancy that eliminates a single point of failure.
Failure to start a duplexing rebuild usually means that the environmental conditions required for a duplexing rebuild have not all been met, and that you might or might need to take any action. CHECK(IBMXCF,XCF_CF_STR_DUPLEX) issues this message to indicate that one or more structures that could potentially be duplexed have not been. When a structure is not duplexed, it might be an oversight that leaves the structure with less redundancy/recoverability than was intended.
Rebuilding - The structure rebuild process type is rebuild.
Rebuild stopping - The structure rebuild process type is rebuild.
The process is being stopped.
Duplexing rebuild - The structure rebuild process type is
duplexing rebuild.
Duplexing rebuild stopping - The structure rebuild process type
is duplexing rebuild. The process is being stopped to fall back
to the old instance.
Duplexing rebuild switching - The structure rebuild process type
is duplexing rebuild. The process is being stopped to switch
to the new instance.
Duplexed - The structure is allocated and duplexed.
(NOTE: Duplexed structures are only listed when the check is
run in verbose mode.)
Simplex - The structure is allocated with only one instance.
SETXCF START,REBUILD,DUPLEX,STRNAME=structure_name
However, the system does not make any attempts to maintain the duplexed status of the structure. The application or operator must initiate another duplexing rebuild if duplexing is stopped.For structures with a DUPLEX value of ENABLED, the system initiates and attempts to maintain the duplexed status of the structure. When a duplexing rebuild process is stopped, the system attempts to initiate duplexing again.
The system continues processing.
Report this problem to the system programmer.
Generally, it is preferred to duplex structures whenever the CFRM active policy indicates they can be. If a particular structure is not duplexed, it might be an oversight that leaves the structure with less redundancy/recoverability than was intended.
DISPLAY XCF,STR,STRNAME=structure_name
When the structure is duplexed, no further action is needed. When the structure is in the process of becoming duplexed, reissue the display command to confirm that duplexing has been established for the structure. When structure duplexing stopd, determine the reason and take action based on the DUPLEX specification for the structure. When the structure is not duplexed, take action based on the DUPLEX specification for the structure.
SETXCF START,REBUILD,DUPLEX,STRNAME=structure_name
If a duplexing rebuild cannot be started, examine the resulting IXC367I message and take action to allow the duplexing rebuild to start.When the DUPLEX value is ENABLED, either issue the SETXCF command (as shown above) to initiate a duplexing rebuild or examine the log messages to understand why the duplexing rebuild cannot be initiated. Examine messages indicating duplexing feasibility (message IXC574I) or giving a reason for not initiating a duplexing rebuild (message IXC538I) for the structure.
