IST2394I
PFID pfid_value IS ALREADY ACTIVE ON stack_name USING TRLE trle_name

Explanation

VTAM® issues this message when it attempts to activate an RDMA Network Interface Card (RNIC) adapter, but the interface that this Peripheral Component Interconnect Express® (PCIe) function ID (PFID) value represents has been activated by a different TCP/IP stack. Only one stack can activate an individual PFID at a time.

In the message text:
pfid_value
The PFID value that VTAM used in the failed activation attempt.
stack_name
The TCP/IP stack that has previously activated the interface that is associated with this PFID value.
trle_name
The name of the transport resource list entry (TRLE) that is associated with pfid_value. VTAM automatically generates the TRLE name when an RNIC adapter is activated.

System action

Processing continues.

Operator response

Contact the system programmer.

System programmer response

  1. Determine which TCP/IP stack is using the incorrect PFID value.
  2. Correct the SMCR parameter on the GLOBALCONFIG statement in the TCP/IP profile of the TCP/IP stack that is using the incorrect PFID value.
  3. Instruct the operator to first issue the VARY OBEFYFILE command to enable the profile changes, and then to issue the VARY START command to start the RNIC adapter.

User response

Not applicable.

Problem determination

None.
