XCF IS UNABLE TO ACCESS THE ETR AND HAS PLACED THIS SYSTEM
INTO NON-RESTARTABLE WAIT STATE CODE: 0A2 REASON CODE: 114
Explanation
This system lost access to the ETR. Either the
ETR failed, or ETR connectivity to this system has failed. All systems
in the sysplex must use the same ETR.
If this message appears
on every system in the sysplex, the problem is probably with the ETR
itself.
System action
The system enters a non-restartable wait state X'0A2',
reason code X'114'. The system writes a machine check record
for the ETR failure. If this system is not removed from the sysplex,
the other systems may fail. If there are other active systems in the
sysplex that did not lose ETR synchronization, then XCF on those systems
will detect a status update missing condition for this system. XCF
on those active systems will partition this system from the sysplex
according to the sysplex failure management policy if such policy
exists and is active. Otherwise, XCF will issue message IXC402D to
ask the operator whether XCF should partition this system from the
sysplex.
Operator response
Contact hardware support and determine whether
to reconfigure the sysplex with assistance from the system programmer.
System programmer response
Do the following:
- If every system in the sysplex issues message IXC462W,
IXC468W, or IXC410E, there is probably a problem with the ETR
itself. For this case, XCF can allow only one system to be IPLed back
into the sysplex, unless a simulated ETR can be used in which case
all systems must be IPLed to run in the same processor in the same
physical partition under VM or PR/SM™.
Determine whether to reconfigure the sysplex and then IPL any systems
that will be a part of that sysplex.
- If not every system in the sysplex issues message IXC462W,
IXC468W, or IXC410E, the problem is probably an ETR connectivity
failure that involves one or more systems. You can choose to continue
with the unaffected systems, or you can choose to reconfigure the
sysplex as described above, except that you must also carefully consider
whether any of the unaffected systems need to be reset first in order
to protect data integrity of shared sysplex wide resources. If you
choose to continue with the unaffected systems, the affected systems
must be partitioned out of the sysplex, either manually by replying
to IXC402D, or automatically as a result of an installation sysplex
failure management policy.
