We have a Shark, and we've been getting HCPA2F2234E LINK FAILURE
messages with increasing frequency. The messages point to the Shark
by model and serial number. The message text says:
"A link-maintenance information record has been written to
LOGREC in response to the reporting of a serial incident."
VM EREP shows recoverable machine check records corresponding in
date/time to these messages.
The CE finds no error records in the Shark and no ICF (interface
control checks) in the 7060. The information shown in the HCP2234E
message is insufficient to point to any recognizable component of the
Shark or its connection.
We are on z/VM 4.2. Our Shark is used by the mainframe as well as
the open systems side of the house.
Anyone have any idea what these messages are prompted by and what
they're trying to tell us?
