Re: Volume Not Mounted

[Bruce Black]

The volume which I am trying to access is in Emulated Disk - OS/2 drive.

I tried suggestions given by every one..
In all, I conclude the Path is Not Physically Available.


I am facing this type of Volume related problem the first time. So please
anyone let me know what needs to be done next in order to make the volume
physically available.

For an emulated disk, there is no real path (channel); the path and the 
disk are both emulated.   So I would guess that something is broken in 
the emulation. 

If it is just this one volume which is broken, then I would suspect that 
either the physical hard disk on which the emulated disk resides is 
broken, or the OS/2 file which contains the emulated disk is corrupted 
or overlaid or deleted.  Sorry, I have no idea how to confirm or fix this.

Hi all,

The volume which I am trying to access is in Emulated Disk - OS/2 drive.

I tried suggestions given by every one..

I tried the following -

I am facing this type of Volume related problem the first time. So please
anyone let me know what needs to be done next in order to make the volume
physically available.

Thanks for all your responses..

>From the chpid (x'FC') it looks like it could be an MP3000 machine. Maybe
all P/390 and subsequent machines use chpid FC for emulated i/o, certainly
the MP3000 does.

Re: Volume Not Mounted

[Bruce Black]

Jerry, another useful command is
   DS P,0B81
which will show the status of each path, might give you a clue.


,RESPONSE=P390

Is this really an emulated disk on P/390, or is that just a concidence 
of name?   If it is a P390, then there are no real paths, and the 
problem might be a problem with the hard drives on which the disk is 
emulated, or in the P390 configuration (if it changed).


Is this the only disk with this problem, or are there others?   If other 
disks with the same paths (CHPIDs) are working, then it is probably not 
a real path problem.  If the VARY command suggested by others don't 
work, you may need to get a CE for the disk subsystem to check it out.

Try vary path offline and online, then vary device online after path is
online as follow:
V path(b81,fc),offline
V path(b81,fc),online 
V b81,online

Hi Lizette,

Thanks for your reply..

D M=DEV(0B81) displays -

What can I infer from this and what should be my next step on this ?
Can you please breif the steps need to be done because the machine is
not in
my place and I dont know the setup which is done there..


Thanks in advance.

Re: Volume Not Mounted

[Lizette Koehler]

There are a couple of variations of VARY commands to help bring volumes
online.

V xxx,ONLINE,UNCOND

V xxx,ONLINE,FORCE
You can issue VARY device,OFFLINE,FORCE only from the master
console. 


V xxx,ONLINE,UNCOND,FORCE

But that depends that the device is physically available.  Is this ESCON
attached?  If so, have you verified that the physical path is available?

Have you issued a D M=DEV() or D M=CHP(xx)  command to ensure the
physical connection is there?

Volume Not Mounted

[Jerry Ragland]

Hi all,

I have a problem after my last IPL of my mainframe machine. When I attempt
to start my CICS region I found that the volume in which the CICS datasets
are placed is not mounted. I tried the following thing to bring the volume
to online but still I fail in my attempts..

I tired giving -

/v 0B81,ONLINE- I got

,RESPONSE=P390
, IEE103I UNIT 0B81 NOT BROUGHT ONLINE
, IEE763I NAME= IECVIOPM CODE= 0004
, IOS551I NO PATHS PHYSICALLY AVAILABLE
, IEE764I END OF IEE103IRELATED MESSAGES


Please help me in resolving this issue.

Thanks in advance,
Jerry.
