Statements and parameters for XCFPOLxx

NOSTATUS(failsys)
The NOSTATUS statement specifies an action to take when the specified system appears to have failed (status update missing). You can choose to either reset or deactivate the failed system. The current system and the failing system must be running in LPAR mode on the same processor. If the processor is physically partitioned, then both LPARs must be on the same side.
DEACTTIME(nnnnn)
Specifies that the logical partition (LPAR) where the failing system resides is to be deactivated after the specified number of seconds have elapsed. If you specify DEACTTIME(15), this system will deactivate the LPAR of the failing system 15 seconds after the status update missing condition is detected for the failing system. Specifying DEACTTIME(nnnnn) also causes the system to be reset.

If the failing system becomes active before the specified time interval elapses, the LPAR is not deactivated.

Tip: Specify a time interval of less than 60 seconds because longer intervals might cause SETXCF PRSMPOLICY commands to be delayed.
Value range: 0 - 86400 seconds
RESETTIME(nnnnn)
Specifies that the failing system is to be reset after the specified number of seconds have elapsed. If you specify RESETTIME(10), this system will perform a system reset of the failing system 10 seconds after the status update missing condition is detected for the failing system.

If the failing system becomes active before the specified time interval elapses, the system reset is not performed.

Tip: Specify a time interval of less than 60 seconds, because longer intervals might cause SETXCF PRSMPOLICY commands to be delayed.
Value range: 0 - 86400 seconds
SYSGONE(failsys)
Specifies an action to take when the specified system was reset by the operator or by the policy that is specified by the NOSTATUS parameter.
DEACTIVATE(othersys|ALL)
Specifies either that the logical partition (LPAR) where the specified system (othersys) resides is to be deactivated or all LPARs within the current system's addressing range are to be deactivated. The specified system (othersys) must be in the same sysplex as the current system and on the same processor as the system specified with the SYSTEM(sysname) keyword.
Specifying DEACTIVATE(othersys) where othersys is the same system that is specified in the NOSTATUS statement with the RESETTIME keyword has no effect. Instead, use the DEACTTIME keyword. The following example is a correct use of the policy.
NOSTATUS(SYS1) DEACTTIME(25)
SYSGONE(SYS1) SYSTEM(SYS2) DEACTIVATE(SYS1)
Default: None. This parameter is required.
ESTORE(YES|NO)
Specifies whether the specified system (SYSTEM(sysname)) is to acquire the expanded storage that is freed up by the deactivated LPARs.
Restriction: ESTOR is not supported in the z/Architecture® environment.
Default: NO
STORE(YES|NO)
Specifies whether the specified system (SYSTEM(sysname)) is to acquire the storage that is freed up by the deactivated LPARs.
Default: NO
SYSTEM(sysname)
Identifies the system in the sysplex that is to take the following actions when the specified system (failsys on the SYSGONE statement) failed. The system indicated by sysname is not necessarily the current system. Instead, it is the system that you are designating to perform the deactivation of the LPAR. This allows a single XCFPOLxx parmlib member to be used on all systems in the sysplex.
