No (1) The RCU reports IEA480 message (SIM for
physical device blocked or port of physical device
blocked) to either the MCU or the host processor
(whichever issues the next I/O first) when the next
I/O is issued to any volume in the parity group.
If MCU receives the SIM, it passes the SIM to the
attached host processor, and the IEA480 message
is reported when the next I/O to this MCU is
issued to any M-VOL paired with the volume in
the parity group.
(2) No IEA491 or IEA494 messages are
displayed.
Yes (1) The RCU reports IEA480 message (SIM for
LDEV blocked) to either the MCU or the host
processor (whichever issues the next I/O first)
when the next I/O is issued to any volume in the
parity group. If MCU receives the SIM, it passes
the SIM to the attached host processor, and the
IEA480 message is reported when the next I/O
to this MCU is issued to any M-VOL paired with
the volume in the parity group.
(2) One (or more) IEA494 messages showing
EXTENDED LONG BUSY are displayed.
(3) One (or more) IEA491 and IEA494 messages
showing PAIR SUSPENDED are displayed.
No (1) The RCU reports IEA480 message (SIM for
cache blocked) to either the MCU or the host
processor (whichever issues the next I/O first). If
MCU receives the SIM, it passes the SIM to the
attached host processor. Therefore, IEA480 is
reported when the next I/O to any device in this
MCU issued.
(2) No IEA491 or IEA494 messages are
displayed.
No No IEA480, IEA491, or IEA494 messages are
displayed.
No No IEA480, IEA491, or IEA494 messages are
displayed.
