gggg - INCONSISTENT DEVICE TYPE

Reason:

The information about a device of the local system is different from the information about that device on an external system. The global name of this device is shown in place of the gggg variable. CA MIA continues execution, but it may not be able to control allocation of this device properly. CA MIA can receive conflicting device type information when there are improper or insufficient entries in the CA MIM device control member. This can be caused by one of the following:

• The global name assigned to a device is the UCB (z/OS) or real address (z/VM) of a different real device on another system
• A global name has not been assigned to a device that has different local names on different systems.
• (z/VM) The local system is a z/VM guest system and a real device has never been attached at this device address. z/VM guest systems do not know the device type until a real device has been attached to the address.

(z/OS) The name of the CA MIM device control member is specified through the DEVLIST parameter on the MIMINIT statement. The default name of this member is MIMUNITS.

Action:

Review the entries in the CA MIM device control member to identify the problem. You also can review the list of managed devices, which is shown in MIM2004 in the system log for each system. Make corrections or additions as needed.
