Messages from SAR (FDR9nn)
Number | Description |
|---|---|
FDR901 | PROGRAM INTERRUPT - JOB TERMINATED Explanation: SAR detected a program check during its operation. A storage dump is printed if a hard copy device was assigned. The program check PSW is saved by SAR at location x'180'. This error may occur on a multi-processor CPU if the hardware START function was used to start any processor other than the one SAR was IPL’d on. Action: ReIPL SAR. If you got a storage dump, and the error was not due to START, contact BMC Support for assistance. |
FDR902 | SVC INTERRUPT - JOB TERMINATED Explanation: SAR detected an SVC interruption during its operation; this should not occur. A storage dump is printed if a hard copy device was assigned. The SVC OLD PSW is saved by SAR at location x'180'. Action: ReIPL SAR. If you got a storage dump contact BMC Support for assistance. |
FDR903 | I/O ERROR - JOB TERMINATED Explanation: An unrecoverable I/O error occurred on the DASD or tape. An FDR951-FDR979 message is printed detailing the error. A storage dump is printed if a hard copy device was assigned. Action: If you can, try the operation again using different devices. If you cannot circumvent the error, contact BMC Support for assistance. |
FDR905 | TAPE DEBLOCKING ERROR - REPLY CONTINUE OR TERM Explanation: SAR detected an internal error in the tape block that was read. The tape block is at location x'9000' or x'23000' in storage. Action: SAR prompts you for a reply. Reply “CONTINUE” to ignore the error and continue with the next tape block, or “TERM” to terminate the restore with an error. If you have a hard copy device assigned, you can use the hardware PSW RESTART function to take a storage dump before replying. |
FDR906 | NOT AN FDR TAPE - REPLY CONTINUE OR TERM Explanation: The tape mounted for an SAR restore did not contain the FDR header. Location x'9000' in storage contains the bad header record. Action: SAR prompts you for a reply. Reply “CONTINUE” to ignore the error and continue with the next tape block, or “TERM” to terminate the restore with an error. If you have a hard copy device assigned, you can use the hardware PSW RESTART function to take a storage dump before replying.
|
FDR907 | TAPE BACKUP IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH DISK DEVICE TYPE - JOB TERMINATED Explanation: The backup tape was from a different device type than the restore device type (ex: SAR cannot restore a 3380 to a 3390). A storage dump is printed if a hard copy device was assigned. Location x'9000' in memory contains the FDR header. Action: If you believe there was not a mismatch in the device types, contact BMC Support for assistance in interpreting the header. |
FDR908 | INVALID RESPONSE TO MESSAGE - RE-ENTER [WITH A VALID ADDRESS] Explanation: The response to the last message received was invalid. On a full-screen console the cursor is repositioned. If response was for a device type, check for a supported device. If the response was for the unit field, check for valid hex characters (0-9, A-F). If “WITH A VALID ADDRESS” appears, check that the unit address is properly defined in your I/O configuration. If this is a response to the TAPE UNIT message, and you specified “,2” to the TAPE DEVICE message, check that the next higher tape drive address (or the next lower address if the address ended in “F”) is also properly defined. Action: Re-enter response to the message. |
FDR909 | DISK VOLUME LABEL ‘vol’ DOES NOT MATCH OPERATOR LABEL - RE-ENTER Explanation: The volume serial number supplied by the user does not match the volume label on the DASD. “vol” is the volume serial found on the DASD unit specified. Action: Re-enter the proper volume serial number. Check the DASD unit address to insure you are pointing to the correct unit. |
FDR911 | TAPE RECORD LENGTH CHECK - REPLY CONTINUE OR TERM Explanation: The length of the last tape block read does not match the length stored by FDR in the tape block. Location x'9000' or x'23000' in storage contains the tape block. If this message occurs multiple times, you may be restoring from an FDR backup that has been copied with a non-FDR utility such as IEBGENER; this truncates the FDR data blocks and make the backup unusable. Only the FDRTCOPY and FDRTSEL utilities (FDR and ABR Backup Maintenance) or the BMC FATAR product should be used to copy FDR tapes. The input may also be a non-backup. Action: SAR prompts you for a reply. Reply “CONTINUE” to ignore the error and continue with the next tape block (the contents of the bad block are not restored), or “TERM” to terminate the restore with an error. If you have a hard copy device assigned, you can use the hardware PSW RESTART function to take a storage dump before replying. |
FDR913 | WARNING BACKUP TAPE IS A DSF FORMAT TAPE - REPLY CONTINUE OR TERM Explanation: The FDR header on the backup tape mounted for a restore indicates that this was a data set backup, not a full-volume backup, and may not contain a copy of the entire volume. Location x'9000' in storage contains the FDR header. Action: SAR prompts you for a reply. Reply “CONTINUE” to ignore the error and restore the backup, or “TERM” to terminate the restore with an error. If you have a hard copy device assigned, you can use the hardware PSW RESTART function to take a storage dump before replying. |
FDR914 | NONSTANDARD RECORD ZERO X'cccchhhhrrkkllll' Explanation: The record zero (R0) on the track indicated is of nonstandard size. The standard length is eight bytes. The count field of R0 is displayed: “cccc” and “hhhh” are the cylinder and track address of the bad R0. “rr” is the record number that should be zero. “kk” is the key length that should also be zero. “llll” is the data length that should be 0008; it is probably the data length that is wrong. Action: If the record zero is shorter than 8 bytes, it is dumped or restored as it appears on the DASD. If it is longer, data in excess of 8 bytes is lost. |
FDR916 | LABEL ERROR REASON=x - JOB TERMINATED Explanation: SAR encountered an I/O error or logical error reading the tape or DASD labels. This message may be accompanied by an FDR951-FDR979 message. If JOB TERMINATED does not appear, SAR asks for a new tape to be mounted. 1 SAR did not find the HDR1 record on tape. 2 The file number encountered on the tape was higher than the file number requested. 3 Two tape marks were encountered trying to find the file number specified. The file is not on the tape. 4 While SAR was scanning the tape for the file number specified an end of volume (EOV1) record was encountered. The file number is not on the tape. 5 User specified a file sequence number other than zero or one and SAR found the tape to be non-labeled. 6 On a backup operation, the user mounted a non-labeled tape for a second or subsequent volume, when the first volume was labeled. Mount an SL tape. 7 An I/O error occurred reading the volume label on tape. Mount a new reel of tape. 8 CLIP was specified. SAR could not read the label on DASD or the volume record was missing or incorrect. SAR cannot re-label the volume. Action: Restart SAR and supply the proper file number if a standard labeled file. If file number is not known or not readable, use the non-labeled option (Nnn) of SAR to bypass the label and point directly to the data. |
FDR920 | ENTER DATA SET NAME - ENTER ***END TO PROCESS Explanation: You specified the data set backup option. SAR is now requesting the data set names or groups to be dumped. SAR displays message DATA SET NAME= (on full-screen consoles replacing the volume serial field). Enter the data set names after the equal sign. A data set name up to 44 characters may be entered. If a group name is to be specified, end the group name with an *, SAR dumps all data sets found that match the characters specified before the *. If the VTOC is to be dumped, enter ***VTOC. This also dumps cylinder zero head zero. A maximum of ten data set names or groups may be entered, one at a time. Action: Enter the data set names to be dumped. Enter ***END to process the backup. |
FDR922 | MOUNT NEXT REEL OF TAPE ON UNIT=uuuu Explanation: The SAR operation requires that another reel of tape be mounted on the drive with address “uuuu”. On Restore The backup file contains multiple reels of tape. On Dump The dump of the DASD requires more than one reel of tape. Mount a scratch tape. Action: Mount and ready the next reel. SAR continued with the restore or backup operation, as soon as the tape becomes ready. If SAR does not automatically recognize that the tape has become ready, use the hardware PSW RESTART function to simulate the interrupt. |
FDR923 | READY DEVICE nnnn UNIT=uuuu Explanation: The tape, DASD or hard copy device with address “uuuu” indicated must be made READY before SAR can continue. Action: Make the device READY. SAR continues as soon as it becomes ready. If SAR does not automatically recognize that the device has become ready, use the hardware PSW RESTART function to simulate the interrupt. |
FDR925 | SAR DISK VOLUME RELABELED TO vol Explanation: You requested a clip operation. SAR has successfully relabeled the volume to “vol”. |
FDR926 | ENTER NEW VOLUME SERIAL NUMBER Explanation: You requested a CLIP or new label (CPY=C). SAR is requesting the new volume serial after validating the volume serial now on the DASD. Action: Enter the new volume serial in the volume serial message. |
FDR927 | ENTER ABSOLUTE TRACK ADDRESS IN DECIMAL - ENTER ***END TO PROCESS Explanation: You requested an absolute track operation. The message “STARTING CCHH=CCCCCHHHH” is displayed. Action: Replace the CCCCCHHHH with the cylinder (5 digits) and head/track (4 digits) in decimal. After ENTER is pressed, SAR displays the ENDING CCHH= message; the ending cylinder and head/track is then entered. Up to 10 absolute ranges may be specified. When the last range is entered, reply ***END to the STARTING CCHH= message. |
FDR928 | MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ENTRIES EXCEEDED - ENTER ***END TO PROCESS Explanation: You have entered the maximum number of entries (10) for data set names or absolute track ranges. Action: You must enter “***END” for SAR to process the data sets or tracks specified. |
FDR929 | RESTORED CYL=cccc TRK - 0....5....ABCDEF0....5....ABCDEF Explanation: On absolute track operations, SAR displays each cylinder processed (“cccc” is the cylinder number in hex). An “X” is printed in the appropriate column for each track restored within the cylinder. |
FDR930 | TRACK TABLE ERROR Explanation: A cylinder and head address was encountered on the backup tape that exceeded the track capacity of the DASD volume. Action: If a hard copy device was assigned, use the hardware PSW RESTART function to take a storage dump. Contact BMC Support for assistance. |
FDR931 | VALID RESPONSE=responses Explanation: This is an informative message to indicate the responses that are valid for the current console message. SAR may not display all of the possible responses. FDRREORG - Reorganization and Compression of the FDR space details all of the allowed responses to a message. Action: Enter the appropriate response. VALID RESPONSE=xxxxxx -- IDENTIFIED BY SAR Explanation: The device type “xxxxxx” was determined by SAR to be the actual type of the DASD device you input. It should not be overridden, except as discussed under “Alternate Device Support” in SAR Technical Description. |
FDR932 | I/O ERROR ON DISK TRACK X'cccchhhh' - REPLY CONTINUE OR TERM Explanation: A logical or physical hardware error occurred on the DASD track at cylinder “cccc” and track “hhhh” (in hex). A FDR951-FDR979 error message may have been displayed detailing the error. SAR did not backup or restore the indicated track properly. Action: SAR prompts you for a reply. Reply “CONTINUE” to ignore the error and continue with the next DASD track (the contents of the bad track is not dumped or may be improperly restored), or “TERM” to terminate SAR with an error. If you have a hard copy device assigned, you can use the hardware PSW RESTART function to take a storage dump before replying. |
FDR933 | TAPE MOUNTED FOR usage status DSN=dsn REPLY YES FOR SAR TO USE IT AS type - NO TO REJECT - EXPDT=yyddd Explanation: SAR displays the current data set name (last 17 characters from the tape label) for each tape mounted. “usage” may be HARDCPY, DUMP, or RESTORE. “status” indicates whether SAR detected labels on the tape and can be: IS VOL=vol For a labeled tape. NOT LABELED For an unlabeled tape. For an output tape, “type” is SL or NL and the expiration date from the tape labels is displayed “yyddd”. The operator must decide if this tape can be safely used for output. For an input tape, only the first line of the message is displayed and no reply is necessary; it simply documents the tape volumes used for input. Action: Reply “YES” for SAR to use the tape for output. If you reply, “NO”, SAR dismounts the tape and request a new tape be mounted. |
FDR934 | REPLY WITH NEW TAPE DATA SET NAME Explanation: SAR is requesting the data set name to be used on a labeled output tape. SAR displays the name found on the tape (last 17 characters). This message is issued for the first output tape mounted. Action: If you simply press ENTER, SAR uses the original data set name. You can override this name by specifying a new data set name. Up to 44 characters may be specified. If the NEWNAME is shorter than the original name, the remainder must be blanked out with the space bar (the ERASE EOF key must not be used). SAR uses the last 17 characters of the name you specify for all output tapes used in this backup. |
FDR935 | ERROR READING THE VTOC ON DISK REASON=n JOB TERMINATED Explanation: SAR encountered an error reading the VTOC on DASD during a backup operation. 1 I/O error occurred reading the DASD volume label. This may be due to an un-initialized volume. 2 A logical or hardware error was detected in the VTOC. A FDR951-FDR979 message may have been displayed detailing the error. 3 First record in the VTOC is not a Format 4. 4 More than one Format 4 record encountered in the VTOC. 5 An empty VTOC track was found. 6 The VTOC track did not deblock. The records found were not a multiple of 140 bytes. 7 A dummy VTOC on cylinder 0 track 0 was encountered. This usually indicates a volume initialized for VM. Action: If JOB TERMINATED does not appear, SAR continues the dump operation, dumping all of the tracks on the volume. |
FDR936 | DISK NOT SUPPORTED FOR DUMP - JOB TERMINATED Explanation: SAR cannot dump the volume specified. SAR uses the read multiple count-key-data CCW that is not supported on this control unit. Action: Should not occur except on old DASD hardware. |
FDR937 | COMPRESSION TECHNIQUE NOT SUPPORTED Explanation: SAR detected that the tape to be restored was compressed in a format that this level of SAR does not support. The tape was created by a higher release of FDR than the release of SAR. Action: This tape must be restored by a release of SAR that is compatible with the release of FDR that created the tape; or the tape can be restored by a high-enough release of FDR under an operating system, or the tape can be copied to uncompressed format with a high-enough release of FDRTCOPY under an operating system. |
FDR938 | PRESS ENTER ON CONSOLE TO RESTART Explanation: SAR has terminated and can be restarted without an IPL by pressing the ENTER key on the SAR console (EOB on printer/keyboard consoles). |
FDR939 | TAPE DSNAME MISMATCH DSN=dsn Explanation: After mounting a volume of a multi-volume labeled restore tape, SAR found that the data set name in the header labels of the new tape does not match the data set name from the first input tape. The second line of message FDR933 is also issued. You may reply “YES” to accept the tape and restore it or “NO” to reject the tape and mount the correct volume. |
FDR940 | ERROR READING LABEL ON DISK - ENTER 6 BLANKS TO BYPASS Explanation: An I/O error occurred trying to read the DASD volume (VOL1) label. If the text “- ENTER 6 BLANKS TO BYPASS” appears, you may blank out the volume serial to cause SAR to ignore the error and continue. This can be useful if you are restoring to DASD volumes that have not been initialized. |
FDR941 | nnnnnnnn TRKS RESTORED Explanation: Displays the number of tracks restored by this operation. |
FDR951-FDR979 | The following messages indicate logical or physical I/O errors on the DASD, tape, or hard copy device. Each message contains these fields: uuuu Device address of failing device cc CCW “opcode” of the failing CCW, in hex. statrcnt Bytes 4-7 of the Channel Status Word (CSW) for this I/O (“stat”=status, “rcnt”=residual byte count). ssssssssssssssssssss Sense information -- first ten bytes. cccchhhh Track address for DASD only (“cccc”=cylinder number, “hhhh”=track number). Tape errors cause immediate termination of SAR. Most DASD errors can be bypassed (see message FDR932). Hard copy errors simply disable the hard copy. You should try using a different device. If it still fails, contact BMC Support for assistance. The text of each message is detailed below. |
FDR951 | COMMAND REJECT uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: The device rejected the CCW command that SAR sent to it.
|
FDR952 | HRDCOPY DISABLED uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss Explanation: SAR detected an I/O error writing to the hard copy device (printer or tape). SAR continues processing with the hard copy device disabled, writing messages only to the console device. Action: See SAR-Stand-Alone-Restore for information on supported console devices. Verify that the proper hard copy device type was specified. |
FDR953 | BUS OUT CHECK uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: The device reported a BUS OUT PARITY CHECK that usually indicates a problem with the path to the device. |
FDR954 | EQUIPMENT CHECK uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: The device reported an EQUIPMENT CHECK that usually indicates a hardware problem with the device or a defect in the medium (for example, tape). |
FDR955 | DATA CHECK uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: The device reported a DATA CHECK. When reading, it indicates that a block that was successfully written to the device can not be read back. When writing, it indicates that the internal checking of the device found that the block was not written correct, and the internal control unit error recovery was not able to recover from the error. |
FDR956 | OVER RUN uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: The device reported an OVERRUN that indicates that the device could not accept data at the rate that the channel was presenting it, or vice versa. This usually indicates some error in your I/O configuration. |
FDR957 | ASSIGN ELSEWHERE uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss Explanation: A cartridge tape drive reported that it was currently assigned to another system. Another CPU or LPAR has the device online. Action: Specify another tape drive or vary offline this drive on all other systems. |
FDR959 | END OF CYLINDER uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: A DASD device reported that SAR read past the end of a cylinder. Should not occur. |
FDR960 | SUBCHANNEL ERROR uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: After SAR started an I/O to a device, the sub-channel for that device showed no I/O active. Should not occur. |
FDR961 | NOT AVAILABLE uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: SAR found that the device's unit address was not a valid address or not operational from this CPU. Action: Check your I/O configuration for the proper unit address. If the device is accessible only from another CPU or LPAR, IPL SAR on that system. |
FDR963 | WRITE INHIBITED uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: During a restore, the DASD device reported that is not enabled for write. Some older devices have a READ-ONLY switch. VM mini-disks and some modern DASD can be configured to make certain DASD read-only. Some control units mark devices read-only after certain serious errors occur. |
FDR964 | INVALID TRK FMT uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: The data on the track to be dumped or the backup track being restored exceeds the track capacity of the DASD device. For backup, this means that some application tried to write more data to that track than the track holds. |
FDR965 | FILE PROTECTED uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: During a backup or hard copy to tape, the tape device reported that it was not enabled for write. For cartridge tapes, a thumb-wheel is used to put tapes into read-only mode. On round (3420-type) tapes, a WRITE PROTECT RING is removed to make them read-only. Action: If you really want to use this tape for output, turn the thumb-wheel or insert the WRITE ring and restart SAR. Otherwise, choose another output tape volume and restart SAR. |
FDR966 | DASD-END OF FILE uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: While SAR was verifying the DASD volume label, the DASD device reported an END-OF-FILE (record with a data length of 0). The DASD volume may not have a proper volume label (see message FDR940). Use six blanks in the volume serial to bypass the label check. |
FDR967 | NO RECORD FOUND uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: The DASD device reported that a required DASD record was not found. If this error occurs when the volume label is being verified, the DASD volume may not have a proper volume label (see message FDR940). Use six blanks in the volume serial to bypass the label check. |
FDR968 | INVALID ERROR uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: The device reported an error that SAR cannot interpret. Action: Make sure that you have specified the correct device type for this device. |
FDR969 | WRONG ERROR uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: The device reported an error status that should not occur. |
FDR970 | CHAN CTRL ERROR uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: The channel reported a CHANNEL CONTROL CHECK. This indicates a hardware problem with the channel, channel cables, control unit, or I/O configuration. |
FDR971 | INTERFACE ERROR uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: The channel reported an INTERFACE CONTROL CHECK. This indicates a hardware problem with the channel, channel cables, control unit, or I/O configuration. |
FDR972 | CHAN DATA CHECK uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: The channel reported a CHANNEL DATA CHECK. This indicates a hardware problem with the channel or channel cables. |
FDR973 | NOISE RECORD uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss Explanation: The tape device reported reading a noise record, which is usually a record smaller than the minimum the device can handle. This is similar to a data check (see message FDR965). |
FDR974 | PROGRAM CHECK uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: The channel reported a CHANNEL PROGRAM CHECK. This indicates a hardware problem or it may indicate an error in the CCWs used by SAR. |
FDR975 | PROTECTION CHECK uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: The channel reported an CHANNEL PROTECTION CHECK. This should not occur with SAR. |
FDR976 | UNIT NOT CAPABLE uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss Explanation: A 3480 cartridge containing data compacted by the 3480 IDRC feature was mounted for restore, but the 3480 tape drive chosen did not have the IDRC feature installed. Action: If possible, choose a 3480 drive on another control unit that has the IDRC feature. |
FDR977 | INCORRECT LENGTH uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: SAR requested that the device transfer data with a predetermined length, but the device reported that the length requested by SAR is different from the actual length of the data. This may indicate hardware errors on the device. |
FDR978 | CHAINING CHECK uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: The channel reported a CHANNEL CHAINING CHECK. This indicates that an invalid CCW chain was issued and should not occur in SAR. |
FDR979 | SEEK CHECK ERROR uuuu cc statrcnt ssssssssssssssssssss cccchhhh Explanation: The DASD device reported that the seek address (cylinder and head number of the track to be accessed) was invalid. Action: Verify that the correct device type and model were specified for the DASD device. |
