CHECK(IBMXCF,XCF_SIG_PATH_SEPARATION) found an exception.
IXCH0906I has been placed in the message buffer. It lists single points of failure in this system's XCF signaling configuration. A single point of failure might be a single path, a coupling facility (CF), or a CEC. A CF might be a single point of failure when the connection is composed of multiple signaling structure paths in a single CF. A CEC might be a single point of failure when the connection is composed of multiple signaling structure paths in multiple coupling facilities but on a single CEC.
It is preferred not to have any single point of failure in an XCF signaling configuration. Loss of a single CTC link, single coupling facility structure, single coupling facility, or single CEC could cause total loss of signaling connectivity between two or more systems in the sysplex.
The system continues processing.
Report this problem to the system programmer.
Eliminate all single points of failure identified in IXCH0906I. This may involve starting additional signaling paths, fixing non-working signaling paths, rebuilding signaling structures, modifying signaling structure preference lists, etc.
