IXC412I
SYSPLEX CONFIGURATION IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH REQUIRED CONFIGURATION

Explanation

This system tried to IPL with one of the following sysplex configurations specified:
  • XCF-local
  • MONOPLEX
  • Multisystem
This configuration is not compatible with the system configuration, or the sysplex that is defined by the COUPLE system parameter, because of one of the following:
  • The PLEXCFG system parameter is not compatible with the sysplex configuration for one of the following reasons:
    • PLEXCFG does not allow XCFLOCAL, and COUPLExx does not have a PCOUPLE statement (or COUPLE=** is used).
    • PLEXCFG only allows XCFLOCAL, but COUPLExx has a PCOUPLE statement.
    • PLEXCFG only allows MONOPLEX, but at least one system is active in the sysplex.
    • PLEXCFG does not allow MONOPLEX, but the system is in the local timing mode.
  • Another system component has imposed restrictions on the sysplex configuration that is allowed because of other system parameters.

    For example, If GRS=NONE is specified in the system parameters, the system cannot IPL in multisystem mode.

System action

The system issues other messages explaining the incompatibility and prompts the operator with IXC420D or IXC207A to allow the sysplex to be re-initialized or a new COUPLE system parameter to be specified.

Operator response

Notify the system programmer. At the request of the system programmer, do one of the following:
  • Specify a different COUPLE system parameter to allow this system to join the sysplex with the current system configuration
  • Have the system programmer change the system parameters of this system to allow the desired configuration. Then re-IPL the system

System programmer response

See the system programmer response for any accompanying messages. Do one of the following:
  • Have the operator respecify the COUPLE system parameter. For example, when a system is trying to IPL in a multisystem mode, but the COUPLE system parameter in use does not provide a couple data set, specify another COUPLE system parameter for a parmlib member that does define a couple data set.
  • Change this system's system parameters to match the sysplex the system is trying to join. Then have the operator reIPL the system.
