IXC212I
SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE IPLING IN XCF-LOCAL MODE. NO PCOUPLE KEYWORD OR PRIMARY DATA SET NAME WAS SPECIFIED IN THE COUPLExx PARMLIB MEMBER.

Explanation

A system was trying to join the sysplex, but XCF found no PCOUPLE keyword or primary data set name specified in the COUPLExx parmlib member. The system cannot join the sysplex without these required items. This system can IPL only in XCF-local mode.

In the message text:
xx
The suffix identifying the COUPLE parmlib member.

System action

The system IPLs in XCF-local mode.

Operator response

If this system was supposed to IPL in XCF-local mode, no response is needed.

If this system was supposed to join a sysplex, correct the parmlib member to specify a PCOUPLE keyword and a primary couple data set. ReIPL when notified by the system programmer, using the corrected COUPLExx parmlib member.

System programmer response

If necessary, you can prevent the system from IPLing in XCF-local mode by using the PLEXCFG=MULTISYSTEM system parameter. Ask the operator to reIPL the system with the corrected parmlib member.
