DATA SET (dsn) COULD NOT BE ALLOCATED BECAUSE ITS STRIPE COUNT (var1) DID NOT MATCH THE STRIPE COUNT (var2) OF THE SOURCE FOR REQUIRED FAST REPLICATION.

Explanation

This is a failure message issued by SMS. The copy operation specified ‘required’ fast replication, but SMS was not able to match the stripe count of the target data set with the stripe count of the source. Note that, in general, if the stripe count of the target data set is different than the stripe count of the source data set, then this represents a fundamental conflict between striping requirements and fast replication requirements. In situations where this occurs, fast replication will not be possible. Allocation was failed.

In the message text:
dsn
Data set name
var1
Stripe count computed by SMS for the data set being allocated
var2
Stripe count of the source data set passed in by the caller

System action

Processing stops.

System programmer response

If ‘fast replication’ is necessary, then you must ensure that the candidate Storage Groups have an exact number of eligible fast replication volumes to match the stripe count of the source data set.

Programmer response

You may change the copy request from ‘require’ fast replication to ‘prefer’ fast replication. If ‘fast replication’ is necessary, then you must ensure that the candidate Storage Groups have an exact number of eligible fast replication volumes to match the stripe count of the source data set.
