IST2219I
resource ACTIVATION WAITING FOR MINIMUM NUMBER OF DEVICES

Explanation

This message is issued during the activation of a Multipath Channel (MPC) group because VTAM® could not allocate at least one read device and one write device.

In the message text:
resource
The name of the TRLE or MPC subarea line that defines the MPC group.
VTAM also issues this message as part of a message group in response to the following:
  • A DISPLAY ID command for an MPC line or a transport resource list entry (TRLE).
  • A DISPLAY TRL command for an active TRL entry.

See IST1221I for a description of those displays.

System action

Activation of the MPC group is suspended until either the minimum required number of devices comes online or the MPC group is deactivated. In the former case, message IST2220I is issued to signal that activation of the MPC group has resumed.

Operator response

Issue the D NET,ID=resource,E command. If message IST2219I does not appear in the display output, no further response is needed. Otherwise, review all of the IST1221I messages that contained in the display that have the chtyp value WRITE or READ. For each chtyp value that lacks a subchannel with the system_state value ONLINE, make at least one of those subchannels in the offline system state available. See IST1221I for more information about the chtyp value.

Issue the MVS™ VARY ONLINE command to make a subchannel available. If the result indicates that the channel is already online, then ensure that a valid path to the connecting host exists.

When the minimum required number of subchannels is available, VTAM automatically allocates the devices and resumes activation of the MPC group.

System programmer response

If you do not want automatic recovery of MPC group activations, modify the MPCACT start option to a value of NOWAIT to enable you to try the activation of MPC groups again manually; this message will no longer appear.

User response
