    1 WCHK1 in a CHA when creating a storage pool using ZFS
    Phenomena WCHK1 occurred in CHA when creating a storage pool using ZFS,
    Severity (High, Medium, Low) Medium
    Conditions of Occurrence The problem may occur when a normal I/O is issued to a command device.
    Affected Products/Version DKCMAIN: 50-03-68-00/00 and higher
    Fixed Product/Version DKCMAIN: 50-09-98-00/15
    Category Open

    2 Failure suspend of delta UR/URz pair after TC/TCz pair SSWS


    Phenomena In 3DC multi-target configuration, when suspend was performed for
    TC/TCz pairs with S-VOL specified, and an I/O was issued to L site
    (TC/TCz S-VOL), the I/O stopped and delta UR/URz pair was suspended
    with a failure. (SSB=EDD8 was frequently output.)
    Severity (High, Medium, Low) Medium
    Conditions of Occurrence The problem may occur when all the following conditions are met.
    (1) 3DC multi-target delta configuration
    (2) Following operations are performed in that order.
    (a) An I/O is issued to P site.
    (b) Suspend is performed for TC/TCz pairs with S-VOL specified.
    (c) An I/O is issued to L site.
    (d) Reserve Resync is performed to TC/TCz pairs.
    (e) Takeover is performed to TC/TCz pairs.
    (f) Suspend (SSWS) is performed for TC/TCz pairs with S-VOL
    specified. (The status of TC/TCz pairs is changing to SSWS and some
    pairs still in Duplex status.)
    (g) An I/O is issued to L site.
    (h) An I/O is issued to P site.
    Affected Products/Version DKCMAIN: 50-07-64-00/00 and higher
    Fixed Product/Version DKCMAIN: 50-09-98-00/15
    Category Universal Replicator, Universal Replicator for z/OS

    3 Failure of Resync operation with SSB=23FF and 23A7 output
    Phenomena When a Resync operation was executed for an SIz pair with MSGREQ
    (YES) specified by using a PPRC TSO command, SSB=23FF and 23A7
    were output and the operation failed.
    Severity (High, Medium, Low) Medium
    Conditions of Occurrence The problem occurs when all the following conditions are met.
    (1) A SIz pair is in Pending (However, copy is in process due to change
    from Split to Resync) or Duplex status.
    (2) CESTPAIR of PPRC TSO command is issued with MODE (RESYNC)
    and MSGREQ (YES) specified.
    (3) The operation in (2) is repeated and is performed for the fourth time.
    Causes and Updates The micro-program has been modified to prevent the Resync operation in
    this case.
    Affected Products/Version DKCMAIN:50-03-94-00/00 and higher

    4 Write pending remained at 42% at failure of side file discard


    Phenomena If failure suspend occurred on RCU side of a TCA pair that was in initial
    copy processing due to line malfunction, discarding a side file of HA/R0,
    BTMP slot transferred by the initial copy failed on RCU side (SSB=1354)
    and the side file remained. As a result, the write pending rate remained at
    42%.
    Severity (High, Medium, Low) Medium
    Conditions of Occurrence The problem may occur when all the following conditions are met.
    (1) TCA for z/OS.
    (2) Pair in initial copy processing. (Initial copy or differential copy)
    (3) Failure suspend occurs on RCU side.
    Affected Products/Version DKCMAIN: 50-09-94-00/00 and higher
    Fixed Product/Version DKCMAIN: 50-09-98-00/15
    Category True Copy Asynchronous for z/OS

    5 No report of SIM to host


    Phenomena SIM=DCE0XX, DCE1XX, DCE2XX and DCE3XX which were output by
    disconnecting a path between MCU and RCU were not reported to a host.
    Severity (High, Medium, Low) Medium
    Conditions of Occurrence The problem may occur when all the following conditions are met.
    (1) Universal Replicator for Mainframe
    (2) A SIM such as for remote copy path blockage is output.
    (3) A SIM for a warning of JNL full is output.
    Causes and Updates The micro-program has been modified to fix the problem.
    Affected Products/Version DKCMAIN: All
