Cause. A Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) ALTER FILESET command was issued to
change the catalog volume of a fileset, but the catalog files could not be moved to the
specified volume.
During successful processing of this command, the CVT utility renames the current
catalog files to a temporary subvolume with a name that begins with ZZ on the original
catalog disk volume; the renamed files have a Guardian file identifier that ends with
9999. The File Utility Program (FUP) then duplicates the temporary subvolume and
files on the new catalog disk volume. Finally, the CVT utility restores the temporary
subvolume and files to their original names on the new disk volume.
This message indicates that a step in that process has failed.
This error commonly occurs when the ZOSSVOL attribute of the subsystem is invalid
or Guardian file permissions prevent execution of the CVT or FUP utilities.
This error can also occur when:
•
The specified disk volume is managed by the NonStop Storage Management
Foundation (SMF). Open System Services and SMF cannot manage the same disk
volume.
•
The specified disk volume is an optical disk. OSS fileset catalogs cannot reside on
optical disks.
Effect. The command is not processed. The catalog files remain on the original
catalog disk volume, and the fileset configuration record is unchanged.
Recovery. Perform the following actions:
1. Ensure that the temporary subvolumes are empty on the original catalog disk
volume and on the target catalog disk volume. If the temporary subvolumes are not
empty, processing of the command could not successfully be reversed and you
must:
a. Use the CVT utility to restore the temporary files to their original names on
either the source or target catalog disk volume. If the temporary files exist on
both disk volumes, restore the files on the original catalog volume; when the
ALTER FILESET command cannot find catalog files on a current volume but
can find them on a target disk volume, it assumes the latter are valid files.
b. Delete any remaining temporary copies of the catalog files.
2. Check the ZOSSVOL value being used:
a. Locate the disk volume containing the ZOSS subvolume with the CVT utility.
The default disk volume for this subvolume is $SYSTEM.
