help with an error code
This morning when I came in I was informed we couldn't get to our Linux servers. The problem was on the HMC, VM was in a 912 disabled wait state. I have looked all over,but obviously not everywhere or I would have found it, and can't find where this code is hiding. Asking for a little help in finding it, Thanks Mace - The information transmitted is intended solely for the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

Re: help with an error code
Use HELP, the waitcode plus a W, hence: HELP HCP912W which tells you: HCP912W System recovery failure; volid volid not mounted Explanation: A volume necessary for checkpointing the system is not mounted. The volid refers to the volume ID of the volume that is not mounted. When CP issues this message, the volid should be the volume ID specified on either the SYSCKP or SYSWRM parameters of the SYSRES macro in HCPSYS, or the CHECKPOINT or WARMSTART operands of the SYSTEM_RESIDENCE statement in the SYSTEM CONFIG file. etc... Additionally: have a look in the reader of OPERATNS, maybe CP produced a dump 2008/11/13 Macioce, Larry [EMAIL PROTECTED] This morning when I came in I was informed we couldn't get to our Linux servers.

Re: help with an error code
Thanks I am use to looking in MVS system codes to find a wait state.

Asking for a little help in finding it, While others have answered your question about finding VM wait state codes (HELP HCPW), take Kris' advice and look further: Unless someone re-IPLed VM manually, your system abended and the system couldn't restart automatically. If it did abend, you need to solve that problem, too. Of course, don't let that stop you from fixing whatever is causing the 912. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
