Reason:

This message displays information about CTC devices attached to the local system. The following information is shown for each CTC device:

addr

The virtual address of the devices, which is identified to CA MIM through the CTCPATH statement. If you are running COMMUNICATION=XCF, then the address is in 'XCF.'

sysid

The ID of a system to which the local system is linked using a CTCPATH statement, this value is specified on the TOSYSTEM parameter on a CTCPATH statement, or ID of a system with which the local system is communicating through XCF.

state

The current state of this CTC device or XCF path. One of these values is shown in place of this variable:

DFN ERR

This path was defined incorrectly on the CTCPATH statement.

ERROR

An I/O error has occurred on this path.

HDW ERR

A hardware error occurred on this path.

IN-USE

The path has been validated and is currently active.

LOCAL

This path does not represent an actual CTC device, but it represents an I/O operation taking place on the local system.

NO RESP

CA MIM has attempted an I/O operation on this path, but has not yet received a response from the external system.

SWITCH

A switch is in progress to this path.

UNALLOC

The device could not be allocated at startup.

UNUSED

No I/O operation has been performed on this path.

USABLE

The path has been validated and it is usable.

VALIDAT

The path is being validated between systems.

io-stat

Shows the I/O status of the CTC device or XCF path. This field may indicate that the device is IDLE (not currently sending or receiving data), BUSY, BOXED, or NOT RDY (not ready). Additionally lines may indicate the type of operation in progress (READ, WRITE, and so on). This field is primarily used for diagnostics.

reads

The total number of READ operations performed on this path since CA MIM was last started. If K is shown in the final position, then the number is in thousands. If M is shown in the final position, then the number is in millions.

writes

The total number of WRITE operations performed on this device since CA MIM was last started. If K is shown in the final position, then the number is in thousands. If M is shown in the final position, then the number is in millions.

errors

The total number of READ/WRITE errors involving this path since CA MIM was last started. If K is shown in the final position, then the number is in thousands. If M is shown in the final position, then the number is in millions.

seconds

The average number of seconds a system waits to reserve the virtual control file once the master system receives the RESERVE request. You will see a value here only if you issued the DISPLAY PATH command from the master system.

cycles

The number of times the control file has been accessed.

Action:

If a CTC device and system are functional and the state of the path is ERROR, then issue the CTC command to clear the error and reset the device.
