Explanation

This code usually indicates a problem internal to DB2®; however, the problem can result from errors in other products. An unexpected reason code was returned by the media manager function when it was invoked to process a database I/O request.

System action

The requesting execution unit is abended.

Operator response

Notify the system programmer, print the SYS1.LOGREC, and request the SVC dump.

User response

Notify the system programmer and rerun the application.

Problem determination

If you suspect an error in DB2, you might need to report the problem. For information about identifying and reporting the problem, see Collecting diagnostic data.

The unexpected media manager reason code is saved in register 8.

Check the MVS™ console log for an IOS (I/O subsystem) error message indicating the type of I/O error that occurred. If an IOS message was issued, follow the problem determination directions for that message.

Collect the following diagnostic items:
  • Console output from the system on which the job was run, and a listing of the SYSLOG data set for the period of time that spans the failure.
  • Dynamic dump, taken to SYS1.DUMPxx data set, by DB2 (04E and 04F abends).
  • Listing of SYS1.LOGREC data set, obtained by executing IFCEREP1.
  • IDCAMS LISTCAT output for the ICF (VSAM) catalog that contains the DB2 subsystem catalog that defined the failing index or table.
  • VTOC listing of the disk volume on which the failing operation occurred.
