z/VM: System Messages and Codes Š CP - z/VM - IBM

HCP9204I System recovery failed during a forced
start because the block requested is
beyond the checkpoint area.
Explanation: During FORCE start processing, an
EREP, accounting, or system message block was
requested outside the system checkpoint area.
System Action: Processing of the EREP, accounting,
or system records ends, and the records are lost. The
system continues by restoring system spool and data
files.
Operator Response: Contact your system
programmer.
HCP9205A The variations of this message are
explained below.
MESSAGES:
v Invalid warm start data encountered. No files
have been deleted yet. To change to a force start,
enter FORCE. To stop processing, enter STOP.
Explanation: The operator has specified a warm
start, and warm start data that is not valid was
encountered.
System Action: Wait for operator response.
Operator Response: The operator should enter
FORCE if a force start is desired. Otherwise, the
operator should enter STOP to stop processing.
v Checkpoint data is not valid. System Data file
recovery data may not be valid. Continuation of
the system IPL could result in the loss of system
data files. To continue COLD start and attempt to
recover system data files, enter GO. To stop
processing, enter STOP.
Explanation: The data in the checkpoint area is not
valid. It is possible the warm start data used to
recover system data files is also not valid. This may
result in the loss of system data files.
Operator Response:
– Enter STOP if you wish to stop initialization and
preserve the previous state of the spooling
system.
– Enter GO to continue initialization. The system
attempts to read the warm start data and recover
system data files.
HCP9210W SYSTEM TERMINATION COMPLETE;
ISSUE A SYSTEM RESET LOAD TO
RESTART
Explanation: The system termination process has
completed. The system will not restart automatically
because CP was unable to terminate an active file load
from the processor controller into main store.
If CP is unable to stop the processor controller from
loading a file into main store, the system cannot be
allowed to restart automatically. To restart the system,
the operator must perform a system reset load from the
hardware console. The hardware system reset operation
will terminate the file load, thus allowing CP to IPL
without fear of a possible storage overlay from the
processor controller.
System Action: The system enters a wait state
(wait-state code = 9210).
User Response: None.
Operator Response: Manually re-IPL the system by
performing a system reset load from the hardware
service console.
Programmer Response: None.
HCP9225I SYSTEM RECOVERY FAILURE;
CHECKPOINT AREA FULL
Explanation: The area that the checkpoint information
is kept in cannot accept any more data (the cylinders
(CKD/ECKD devices) or pages (FBA devices) are full.
One reason why checkpoint area cylinders may be full
is a large number of accounting, EREP, and symptom
records could be included in the data checkpointed in
those cylinders. Normally these records are retrieved by
virtual machines identified in SYSTEM CONFIG or
HCPSYS, but if those virtual machines are not actively
retrieving the records, the records will accumulate.
System Action: CP aborts checkpoint processing.
If SHUTDOWN was entered:
The system stops.
If SHUTDOWN REIPL was entered:
The system continues and then restarts.
Message HCP904E is displayed and the user
is prompted to change to a FORCE start. All
accounting, EREP, and symptom records are
lost.
Operator Response: Contact your system
programmer or the IBM Support Center for assistance.
You may need to allocate more checkpoint cylinders
(CKD/ECKD) or pages (FBA). To restart, IPL the system
and specify a FORCE start.
HCP9250E SYSTEM DUMP FAILURE; NO DUMP
DEVICE AVAILABLE
Explanation: The system was unable to take an
abend dump because there was no device available to
dump to. If a dump was previously specified, it was not
operational. The system was also unable to locate a
printer to dump to.
System Action: No dump is taken. The system
continues the system termination process.
User Response: None.
