Managing NCPs › Acknowledge a Link Failure

Acknowledge a Link Failure

When a link between connected regions fails, the resources being monitored through the failed link appear in the UNKNOWN state. A failed link can affect a large number of resources and fill your monitor with link failure error states. Use the ACKLNKFAIL command to acknowledge that you note the failure and to clear your monitor of the affected resources so that you can better monitor the other resources. The affected resources reappear when the link recovers.

To acknowledge a link failure

1. On your Monitor panel, type ACKLNKFAIL at the prompt and press Enter.

   The Execute ACKLNKFAIL Command panel appears.

   The panel displays the list of regions connected to your region. The panel identifies the access method control block (ACB) name of each region and the system image that is active in that region.

2. Type S beside the regions affected by the failed link, and press Enter.

   A confirmation panel appears.

3. Enter CONFIRM in the Response field to execute the command.

   The Monitor panel appears with the resources under the control of the selected regions removed from the list of monitored resources.
