APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Today there is no command to bring an
  AFM Inactive fileset to active
  

Local fix

• Wait for an IO
  operation on the fileset or
  touch a file inside the fileset
  to simulate an incoming IO and trigger Recovery on the
  fileset in question.
  

Problem summary

• Today there is no command to bring an
  AFM Inactive fileset to active
  

Problem conclusion

• Benefits of the solution:
  Ability to use an mmafmctl sub-command
  to make a fileset Active
  by triggering the recovery as needed
  instead of using the brute
  force to perform IO operation on the fileset.
  
  Work around:
  Wait for an IO
  operation on the fileset or
  touch a file inside the fileset
  to simulate an incoming IO and trigger Recovery on the
  fileset in question.

  Fileset moving to inactive state and
  needing recovery for any
  reason.
  
  Symptom:
  AFM fileset moving to Inactive/dropped states.
  
  Platforms affected:
