All SMF disks are “unload” status; initialization error ‑ unable to reuse “unload” file

Reason

SMF initialization failed because all disks were in unload status and CA ACF2 for z/VM could not take a dump and reuse them for recording. Other error messages can accompany this message.

Action

This is a severe error. SMF recording does not begin. You should:

1. Note any additional messages displayed.
2. Use a utility, such as DDR or COPYFILE, to copy the SMF files to other disks.
3. Capture and process as much of the SMF data as possible from the copied disks using the ACFSMCOP utility and the SMF reporting facilities.
4. FORMAT and RESERVE (see the &ins.guide) the first valid SMF disk specified in the @SMF macro of the ACFFDR.
5. Restart the CA ACF2 for z/VM service machine and continue processing, if necessary.
6. Contact CA Support. (Be sure to have the data preserved from the unload SMF disks.)
