IXCH0529E
The System Status Detection (SSD) partitioning protocol is configured for use by XCF on the system. This is inconsistent with the checkowner_or_installation specification.

Explanation

CHECK(IBMXCF,XCF_SYSSTATDET_PARTITIONING) found an exception.

The System Status Detection partitioning protocol is configured for use by XCF on the system.

The installation specification requires ENABLED(NO).

IBM® suggests that the SSD partitioning protocol be configured to ensure that failed systems are removed from the sysplex expeditiously and with a minimum of operator involvement.

System action

The system continues processing.

Operator response

Report the problem to the system programmer.

System programmer response

To update the check parameter to ENABLED(YES), specify ENABLED(YES) in an HZSPARM parmlib member or on a MODIFY HZSPROC command, e.g., F HZSPROC,UPDATE,CHECK(IBMXCF,XCF_SYSSTATDET_PARTITIONING), PARM='ENABLED(YES)'

To disable the System Status Detection partitioning protocol, issue the SETXCF FUNCTIONS,DISABLE=SYSSTATDETECT command. Update the COUPLExx parmlib member to specify FUNCTIONS DISABLE(SYSSTATDETECT) to preserve the setting for the next IPL.

Problem determination

Issue the DISPLAY XCF,COUPLE command to display the current status of the SYSSTATDETECT function.

Issue the DISPLAY XCF,COUPLE,TYPE=SYSPLEX command to display the current status of the sysplex couple data sets. If a sysplex couple data set was formatted to support the SSD partitioning protocol, the command output shows SYSTEM STATUS DETECTION PROTOCOL IS SUPPORTED for that particular sysplex couple data set.
