The change of contents for Version 01-19-96-00/00

(1) Improper CRIT Displayed in the case of CQUERY Failure Suspend

Item Description
Contents A TC390 pair suspended due to WCHK1, and M-VOL write Inhibit occurred because
CRIT=YES. However, "CRIT=NO" was displayed in the CQUERY information though
"CRIT=YES" was specified when a pair was created.
Conditions This problem occurs with the following conditions met.
1. TC390 Sync pair exists, and CRIT=YES or Fence level=Data/Status is set.
2. The pair was suspended due to a cause other than RVOL failure (Disconnection of path
between MCU and RCU, RCU failure) (CQUERY pair status code=0x06/0x09)
3. CQUERY is issued to MVOL from PPRC -> CRIT=NO is displayed.
VREPORT REPLICA is issued to MVOL from VSS -> Fence level=Never is displayed.

Changed DKCMAIN

(2) Invalid Pair Status when Reverse-Re-sync Failure

Item Description
Contents After Reverse-Resync failed for the True Copy Async/ True Copy for S/390 Async pairs without
path from RCU to MCU registered, when recreating the pairs using a different consistency
group, EC=CC14 was reported and the operation failed again.
Conditions The problem occurs with all the following conditions met.
1. True Copy Async/ True Copy for S/390 Async volumes,
2. Performing Reverse-Resync in the status of no path registered (from RCU to MCU),
3. Some pairs had Reverse-Resync succeeded before.
Category True Copy Async/ True Copy for S/390 Async
Changed DKCMAIN

(3) IFCC when Running SAK

Item Description
Contents IFCC occurred when the SAK program was running. Because the Buffer-to-Buffer-Credit
became zero on the path from the switch to DKC, the frame, which DKC were waiting for,
failed to issue to DKC. Therefore DKC detected the waiting frame time over (HTP EC=2CF5)
and DKC started ABTS (Abort Sequence) procedure.
Conditions SAK program issued the specific CCW with a large count, and HTP started the internal data
transfer procedure in DKC. At that time, DKC sent the status frame for the previous CCW that
issued before that specific CCW. Then HTP stopped the data transfer, but Receiver Ready signal
failed to the switch at that time.
Category FICON
Changed HTP
