HFS data set problems on z/OS R7

2006-08-18 Thread Knutson, Sam
Hi,

The latest update is this is another issue caused by attempting to
enable MIDAW.   We have once again disabled MIDAW in all LPARs.
The symptom we reported is recurring DATALOSS HFS corrupted had to be
restored from backups.

APAR is OA17844.  In the mean time turn off MIDAW or remove OA15958's
PTFs UA25366 or UA25367. 

APAR Identifier .. OA17844  Last Changed  06/08/17
  FOR SMF RECEIVE IEE393I SMF PHYSICAL I/O ERROR ...
  FOR HFS RECEIVE IGW027E HFS XXX SYNC I/O ERROR ...
 
  Symptom .. MS MSGIEE393IStatus ... OPEN
  Severity ... 1  Date Closed .
  Component .. 5695DF106  Duplicate of 
  Reported Release . 1K0  Fixed Release 
  Component Name DFSMS VSAM MEDA  Special NoticePE
ERROR DESCRIPTION:
  For HFS receive -
  IGW027E HFS xxx SYNC I/O ERROR. RC=0024 RSN=5B260104
  ABEND0F4 RC24 RSN5BC50104 IN GFUZIOER
  In both cases MIDAW is enabled, and after apply OA15958 the
  problems occurred.  A channel program check ( CPC ) is occurring
  because a MIDAW parameter address in the CCW must be on a
  quad-word (16-byte) boundary and it isn't.
  
  LOCAL FIX:
  Disable MIDAW - by issuing the following command from each system:
  SETIOS MIDAW=NO
  or,  remove OA15958's PTFs UA25366 or UA25367

The best recommendation so far is convert all HFS files to ZFS before or
during the upgrade to R7. 


Haven't seen the particular issue you're talking about, but as far as the 
recommendation, 
that's what we're doing since it needs to be done sooner or later anyway.
