I/O was attempted to a DASD device whose control unit is in a long-busy condition. This busy condition might last for several minutes; the additional messages may describe the reason code for the long-busy condition and the appropriate Operator Response. Under normal recovery most of the reason codes listed below should only last for a short period of time. If a long-busy condition has recovered then no message is issued.
No further information is provided by the hardware.
A possible hardware problem has occurred requiring an emergency destage of the data. Contact hardware support for further assistance.
The control unit is performing a recovery function.
The control unit is currently committing all writes in cache to the drive(s).
The control unit is transferring data from cache to the hardware because the storage cache thresholds have been exceeded.
The control unit is transferring data from cache to the hardware because the storage cache thresholds have been exceeded.
The control unit is busy until the PPRC Pair has been terminated.
A reserve is issued to a XRC utility device. XRC will not allow the reserve to be done until the XRC volume establishes a new utility device. If there is only one utility device, XRC will not allow the reserve CCW to be processed.
Pinned data is data that can not be destaged to the real device. IDCAMS LISTDATA PIN can be issued to determine the pinned tracks. Contact your hardware support center.
The control unit is transferring data from cache to the hardware because the storage cache thresholds have been exceeded.
State change pending has been issued by a PPRC secondary to the PPRC primary.
An operator has issued a command to suspend a PPRC pair or hardware is suspending the pair because of a hardware problem.
The hardware is currently long-busy and will remain in that state until hardware clears the condition causing the long-busy. This message is issued every 2 minutes or the control unit time interval set by the customer.
Hardware is in the process of clearing a fenced condition on the LSS.
The control unit is either destaging or discarding data that is downlevel.
While the device is recovering, the device is long-busy. Contact your hardware support center to determine device error.
A freeze of the PPRC pairs has been issued by the operator.
Either hardware has created a new message code or the message code is invalid. Contact the hardware support center to determine the meaning of this message code.

The MIH Exit will periodically retry the queued I/O to the device until the control unit accepts the request. Message IEA482I is displayed for each retry of the I/O request by the MIH Exit while the busy condition exists.
Respond according to the reason code provided in the message. Certain conditions have occurred because of XRC, Flash Copy, and Concurrent Copy. If the messages persist contact your hardware support center and follow your installation recovery processes.
