IXC101I
SYSPLEX PARTITIONING IN PROGRESS FOR sysname REQUESTED BY jobname REASON: reason

Explanation

XCF is removing a system from the sysplex.

In the message text:
sysname
The name of the system XCF is removing from the sysplex.
jobname
The name of the job that requested the sysplex partition.
reason
The reason the system is being removed from the sysplex:
LOSS OF COUPLE DATA SET
System sysname could not function in the sysplex because of failure(s) of the primary and alternate (if available) couple data set.
LOSS OF CONNECTIVITY
XCF initiated a request to remove system sysname from the sysplex because it lost signalling connectivity to one or more other systems in the sysplex.
OPERATOR VARY REQUEST
An operator requested that system sysname be removed from the sysplex.
SYSTEM STATUS UPDATE MISSING
XCF initiated a request to remove system sysname from the sysplex because XCF detected missing system status updates for sysname. This indicates that the system may have failed.
LOSS OF ETR
An operator requested that sysname be removed from the sysplex because it lost access to the external time reference (ETR).
SYSTEM ENTERED WAIT STATE
System sysname entered a wait state, either initiated by IXCPART or detected by XCF.
SYSTEM DETECTED AS NO LONGER IN SYSPLEX
System sysname was removed from the sysplex. XCF could not determine the reason.
POLICY INITIATED REQUEST
XCF processor resource/systems manager (PR/SM™) policy initiated the request to remove the system from the sysplex or the system is PR/SM capable and RESETTIME or DEACTTIME was specified in the SFM policy.
SFM STARTED DUE TO STATUS UPDATE MISSING
System sysname was removed from the sysplex as required by the sysplex failure management policy because the system was not updating its status at regular intervals.
SFM INITIATED DUE TO SIGNALLING FAILURE
System sysname was removed from the sysplex as required by the sysplex failure management policy because the sysplex had to be reconfigured in order to resolve a signalling connectivity failure in the sysplex.
A NEW SYSTEM IS DETECTED RUNNING ON THE SAME CPC
System sysname was removed from the sysplex because it was determined that another MVS™ system was running on the same CPC image which system sysname was previously running.
INCOMPATIBLE LOGICAL PARTITION NUMBER
System sysname was removed from the sysplex because it was determined that it could not support the logical partition number of another system in the sysplex.
TIMING NOT SYNCHRONIZED WITH SYSPLEX
System sysname was removed from the sysplex because it was determined that it was not synchronized to the same time reference as the other systems in the sysplex.
SYSTEM CAUSING SYMPATHY SICKNESS
The system was removed from the sysplex to alleviate sympathy sickness that was impacting other systems in the sysplex. Message IXC440E might have been issued by the impacted systems. Message IXC631I might have been issued by the removed system to indicate which stalled XCF members were causing the sympathy sickness.
SYSTEM RESET OR NEW IMAGE LOADED
The partition containing system sysname has been reset, deactivated, or a new system image has been loaded in the partition that it formerly occupied.
CPC FAILURE
The central processing complex (CPC) on which the system was running has failed.
PARTITION DEACTIVATED
The central processing complex (CPC) LPAR on which the system sysname was running has been deactivated.
SYSTEM HAS AN IMPAIRED CRITICAL MEMBER
The system was removed from the sysplex to alleviate a critical member impairment condition that could have been impacting other systems in the sysplex. Message IXC633I and message IXC636I may have been issued by the removed system to indicate which impaired XCF members were causing the impairment condition.
OPERATOR VARY REQUEST WITH REIPL OPTION
An operator requested that system sysname be removed from the sysplex and the system be re-IPLed by the AutoIPL function.
OPERATOR VARY REQUEST WITH SADMP OPTION
An operator requested that system sysname be removed from the sysplex and that stand-alone dump (SADMP) be IPLed for this system by the AutoIPL function.
OPERATOR VARY REQUEST WITH SADMP AND REIPL OPTIONS
An operator requested that system sysname be removed from the sysplex and that stand-alone dump (SADMP) be IPLed for this system by the AutoIPL function, followed by MVS being re-IPLed by SADMP.

System action

The system continues processing without the removed system.

Operator response

If the system programmer requests it, obtain a stand-alone dump.

System programmer response

Look for and correct any problems with the ETR clock, signalling paths, or couple data set.

If the system was removed because it could not support the logical partition number of another system, look for and correct the missing service that will allow the system to support the attributes of the other systems in the sysplex.

If the problem persists, search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center. Provide the stand-alone dump.
