Willie, If you look up the message ID (should be like an IEE message) with this display you would find that it means that the dasd unit is offline. NRD means not ready. So you need to have someone vary the device online. If that does not work, then you would need to have someone do a display of the dasd matrix and see if the paths are available. If that does not work you would need someone verify the hardware is connected to the system. Since I do not know if this is escon attached, a virtual device defined like dased, or other, this is the only advice I can offer at this time.
But do use LOOKAT or use the MVS Messages and Codes manuals. They explain messages very well.
