IXC218I
SYSTEM STATUS FOR SYSPLEX plexname AT currdate currtime: sysname1 hh.mm.ss state

Explanation

This message displays the systems in the sysplex that this system was attempting to join.

In the message text:
plexname
Name of the sysplex this system is attempting to join.
currdate
Date when this system attempted to join the sysplex.
currtime
Time at which this system attempted to join the sysplex.
sysname1
A system in the sysplex.
hh.mm.ss
Timestamp of its last status update.
state
One of the following:
BEING REMOVED
XCF is removing the system from the sysplex. This can mean:
  • A VARY XCF,sysname command was entered to remove the system from the sysplex.
  • The system lost signalling connectivity to the other systems in the sysplex.
  • The system lost access to the common clock being used by the sysplex.
MNTR DETECT STOP
The system has not updated its status on the couple data set within the time interval specified on that system's COUPLExx parmlib member. This can mean:
  • The system is issuing an SVC dump.
  • The system is going through reconfiguration.
  • A spin loop is occurring.
  • The operator pressed stop.
  • The system is in a restartable wait state.
  • The system lost access to the couple data set.
BEING CLEANED UP
XCF is in the process of removing a system from the sysplex.
ACTIVE
The system is running and has updated its status on the couple data set within the last time interval as defined in the system's COUPLExx parmlib member.

System action

The system issues prompt IXC207A.

Operator response

If this system is listed among the systems in IXC218I, XCF has determined that a system by that name is already in the sysplex. This could mean two things:
  1. This system was IPLed with a system name that duplicates an active system
  2. The other system with this system's name was intended to be removed from the sysplex prior to this system's IPL.

Either re-IPL this system with a different system name or partition the other system and reset it. At that point, you can respecify your COUPLExx parmlib member in response to IXC207A and bring that system into the sysplex.

System programmer response

Issue D R,R from another system.
  • If IXC102A is outstanding, this would indicate that the partitioning process has started, but is waiting for the operator to confirm that it is finished before allowing the system to rejoin the sysplex.
  • If IXC102A is not outstanding, then the IPLing system duplicates an active system. Either it must be partitioned and reset, or the IPLing system must be re-IPLed with a different name.
