John, Have you reviewed the following points? | First line of text contains the general reason for the | not operative path. | Second line of text, if one exists, contains the specific | reason for the not operative path.
| System Action: In most cases, subsequent I/O requests | to the device wait until a path to the device becomes | available. This message is written to SYSLOG only. | Operator Response: An I/O interrupt is required to cause | I/O requests to the device to be retried. Do one of the | following to simulate an I/O interrupt and cause queued | requests to be retried: | .Enter a VARY DEVICE ONLINE command for devn | .Enter a VARY PATH ONLINE command for a path to | device devn | .If a serial fiber is not connected, connect the serial fiber to device devn. I would dump LOGREC and see if any additional info is available. 60: CHANNEL LINK LEVEL FACILITY IN OFFLINE RECEPTION This is the case when the Channel-to-CU logical path (H/W link-level) has been de-established (broken). Then I would try a new cable to see if the cable is bad.
