We are z/OS V2.2. While I was updating the IODF It was decided to change the
Couple Facility Partition Identifier (CFA) from 8 to 9. Nothing else about that
partition was changed.
Also another CF Partition was created as CFB with Partition Identifier 9. At
this point nothing is attached to this partition.
I was informed since the partition ID was changed that the CFRM needed to be
updated.
So I added the additional CF NAME and updated the PARTITION #.
CF NAME(CFA)
TYPE(00XXXX)
MFG(IBM)
PLANT(02)
SEQUENCE(000000094037)
PARTITION(9)
CPCID(00)
DUMPSPACE(367002)
CF NAME(CFB)
TYPE(00XXXX)
MFG(IBM)
PLANT(02)
SEQUENCE(000000094037)
PARTITION(8)
CPCID(00)
DUMPSPACE(367002)
Also updated all STRUCTURE's with PREFLIST with CFA & CFB.
STRUCTURE NAME(XXXXXX_XXXX_X)
SIZE(172128)
INITSIZE(114752)
FULLTHRESHOLD(90)
ALLOWAUTOALT(NO)
REBUILDPERCENT(1)
DUPLEX(DISABLED)
PREFLIST(CFA,CFB)
Then executed the utility and received a Cond code 0.
During the IPL the following message was received:
IXC518I SYSTEM XXXX not using CF
........
Reason: Not in the CFRM active policy
Reason Flag: 13300002.
NOT IN THE CFRM ACTIVE POLICY. REASON FLAG: reason.
The CFRM active policy does not have this coupling facility defined. The
coupling facility is connected to the system but will not be used since not in
CFRM active policy.
After that re-occurring error messages .
At this point I decide to change the partition number back to 8 in the HMC and
re-activated the CF.
I also put back in place the old CFRM. RE-IPL and was able to successfully
bring the system back up.
What would be the correct way to update this ? What I have been able to find
is to create a new CFRM and then perform a SETXCF
START,POLICY,TYPE=CFRM,POLNAME=CFRMXXXX.
Do I update the current CFRM?
Can I use the same POLNAME ?
How do I switch to the updated CFRM ?
Any help would be appreciated.
We were also wondering how the system was able to use the partition # defined
in the CFRM as partition 8 but the IODF has it defined as partition 9.
Thank You
