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.
b. Use the SCF INFO SUBSYS command to check the disk volume being used for the
ZOSSVOL attribute.
c. If the ZOSSVOL attribute does not specify the correct disk volume, use the SCF ALTER
SUBSYS command to correct the problem.
3. Check the security permissions of the CVT and FUP utilities to ensure that the OSS Monitor
can execute them. Correct them if necessary.
Reissue the ALTER FILESET command to change the CATALOG value. If the problem persists:
1. Back up the fileset as described in “Backing Up and Restoring OSS Files” (page 183).
2. Use the SCF DELETE FILESET command to delete the fileset.
3. Recreate the fileset configuration using the SCF ADD FILESET command.
4. Restore the fileset from its backup as described in “Backing Up and Restoring OSS Files”
(page 183).
5. Reissue the ALTER FILESET command.
