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.

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

Changed Part
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.)
Medium
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.

HDS Confidential
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.
Medium
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.
The micro-program has been modified to prevent the Resync operation in
this case.

Shadow Image for z/OS
DKCMAIN
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%.
Medium
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.

SIM=DCE0XX, DCE1XX, DCE2XX and DCE3XX which were output by
disconnecting a path between MCU and RCU were not reported to a host.
Medium
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.
The micro-program has been modified to fix the problem.
