MIM3171E

CONSOLE name allocation failed; allocated to another subsystem

Reason:

An active MCS or subsystem console was allocated by another product at the time the console allocation was attempted. If the allocation was attempted due to a command issued through an exclusive linkage, then MIM3066 will be displayed to the issuer of the cross-system command. If the allocation was attempted due to a console specified on the MIMINIT SSCONID statement, then the console will be discarded from the target console pool, and GCMF will continue processing.

Action:

No specific action is required if this is an SSCONID entry. You may want to remove the console from the MIMINIT SSCONID statement. If the failure is due to a command issued through an exclusive linkage, then either use a different linkage type or change the UCMID specified on the exclusive linkage with the LINK command on the issuing system, and reissue the command.

Note: Changes made to the GCMINIT SSCONID statement will not take effect until the next time GCMF is initialized.
