Failure of NVS on the RCU; Failure of RCU read cache

a. One side of RCU

cache blocked due

to failure

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.

Not

activated

b. One side of RCU

cache blocked due

to maintenance

No

No IEA480, IEA491, or IEA494 messages are

displayed.

Not

activated

c. One side of RCU

cache blocked by

SET CACHE OFF

No

No IEA480, IEA491, or IEA494 messages are

displayed.

Not

activated

«

Both sides of RCU cache

blocked due to failure

Yes

1.

No IEA480 (SIM of cache blocked) is

displayed.

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.

4.

If CGROUP FREEZE and RUN are issued,

IEA494 messages showing PAIR

SUSPENDED are displayed when the MCU

accepts CGROUP-RUN. These messages are

from the TC390 pairs for which FREEZE

option is enabled and from main volumes

that did not already report IEA491/IEA494

at (3).

Activated if

the FREEZE

option is

enabled for

the affected

LCU pairs.

»

Failure of all links

between the MCU and RCU

Yes

1.

IEA480 (SIM for TC390 path blocked)

message is reported when the next I/O to

any device in this MCU is issued.

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.

Activated if

the FREEZE

option is

enabled for

the affected

LCU pairs.

Power failure

a. On the MCU

No

No IEA480, IEA491, or IEA494 messages are

displayed.

Not

activated

b. On the RCU

Yes

1.

IEA480 (SIM of TC390 path blocked)

message is reported when the next I/O to

any device in this MCU is issued.

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.

Activated if

the FREEZE

option is

enabled for

the affected

LCU pairs.

1. When one side of the MCU cache is blocked, duplex TC390 pairs are not affected, but pending duplex TC390 pairs are

suspended. Suspending TC390 pairs with pending duplex status provides additional protection in the unlikely event of a

cache failure.
