If your local operating procedures require contacting the Global Mission Critical Solution Center (GMCSC), supply your system number and the numbers and versions of all related products as well.



200

KMSF TOTAL SWAPSPACE UTILIZATION IN CPU cpu-num: swapspace% KMSF threshold exceeded for file: swapfile (threshold%) Extent size: extent-size disk pages Max extents: num-extents File size reserved: file-size-reserved MB Total file size: total-file-size MB

cpu-num

is the number of the processor detecting the condition.

swapspace

is the amount of swapspace that the processor currently uses (that is, the combined swap space used by each swap file configured for the processor).

swapfile

identifies the kernel‑managed swap file.

threshold

identifies the configured threshold for the processor at which messages should be generated.

extent-size

is the size of each extent of the swap file.

num-extents

is the number of extents that the swap file has.

file-size-reserved

is the part of the swap file that the processor currently uses.

total-file-size

is the number of memory pages currently allocated for the swap file.

Cause  The specified kernel-managed swap file (represented by the token ZNSK-TKN-FILE) exceeded its configured threshold.

Effect  The value of swap space use (represented by the token ZNSK-TKN-SWAPSPACE) determines the effect. A high value (approximately 80%) might prevent the processor from creating processes.

Recovery  Expand the swap file or add an additional swap file for the processor.



201

KMSF SWAPFILE CREATED: swapfile CPU cpu-num

swapfile

identifies the kernel‑managed swap file.

cpu-num

identifies the processor detecting the condition.

Cause  A swap file has been created using the NSKCOM ADD command.

Effect  The swap file is fully allocated, and disk free space is reduced by its configured size. The file is not used until it is enabled for use by the NSKCOM START command.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action is needed.



202

KMSF SWAPFILE PURGED: swapfile [ CPU cpu ]

swapfile

identifies the purged kernel‑managed swap file.

cpu

is the processor associated with the swap file if the processor is known; otherwise, no value is shown.

Cause  A kernel‑managed swap file has been purged by the NSKCOM DELETE command.

Effect  The swap file is no longer available for use.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action is needed.



203

KMSF SWAPFILE STARTED: swapfile CPU cpu

swapfile

identifies the kernel‑managed swap file.

cpu

is the processor associated with the swap file.

Cause  The kernel‑managed swap file was enabled for use by the NSKCOM START command, or the swap file was enabled for use by the Kernel‑Managed Swap Facility (KMSF) after the disk that the swap file is on came up.

Effect  The swap file is available for swapping by the indicated processor.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action is needed.



204

KMSF SWAPFILE STOPPED: swapfile CPU cpu

swapfile

identifies the kernel‑managed swap file.

cpu

is the processor associated with the swap file.

Cause  A user stopped usage of the specified swap file by entering the NSKCOM STOP command, or the disk that the swap file was on went down.

Effect  Swapping to the specified swap file is prevented. If the swap file’s disk went down, processes swapping to the file are abended. If this is the only swap file available for the processor, stopping use of the file prevents any processes from starting in that processor until a swap file is enabled for use by the Kernel‑Managed Swap Facility (KMSF).

Recovery  If other swap files are available for the processor, this is an informational message only; no corrective action is needed.

If the disk that the swap file is on went down, bring the disk up. KMSF automatically opens and starts using the swap file.

If no other swap files are available for the processor, you must add and enable use of a swap file for the processor. Because you cannot start a process on the processor, run NSKCOM on another processor. Use the NSKCOM ADD and START commands to add and enable a swap file for the processor. You can also use the START command to enable the stopped file to put it back into use.



205

KMS swapfile aborted: swapfile CPU cpu

swapfile

identifies the KMS swapfile.

cpu

is the CPU associated with the swapfile.

Cause  A user entered the NSKCOM ABORT command.

has the command completed?

Effect  All processes that are swapping to the swapfile are stopped.

is it deleted?

If no other swapfile is configured for the CPU, the CPU goes down?

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action is needed.



206

KMSF SWAPFILE MAXEXTENTS ALTERED: swapfile NEW VALUE num‑extents CPU cpu

swapfile

identifies the kernel‑managed swap file.

num‑extents

identifies the new number of extents of the swap file.

cpu

is the processor associated with the swap file.

Cause  A user entered the NSKCOM ALTER command and specified new MAXEXTENTS.

Effect  The swap file’s size has been changed to the new MAXEXTENTS.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action is needed.



207

KMSF SWAPFILE THRESHOLD ALTERED: swapfile NEW VALUE threshold% CPU cpu

swapfile

identifies the kernel‑managed swap file.

threshold

identifies the new configured threshold for the file at which message 200 should be generated.

cpu

is the processor associated with the swap file.

Cause  A user entered the NSKCOM ALTER command and changed the configured threshold for the swap file.

Effect  Messages will be generated when the swap file exceeds its new threshold.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action is needed.



208

KMSF SWAPFILE STOP PENDING: swapfile CPU cpu

swapfile

identifies the kernel‑managed swap file.

cpu

is the processor associated with the swap file.

Cause  The NSKCOM STOP command was issued against the specified swap file.

Effect  The swap file does not accept any new processes, and its existing processes are not affected. The swap file remains in use until all processes using the file have terminated. The ZSYSCFG file is modified to mark the swap file with a STOP mark.

If this is the only swap file available for the processor, stopping use of the file prevents any new processes from starting in that processor until usage of a swap file is enabled. Any attempts to start new processes generate process creation errors, such as PROCESS_CREATE_ error 55, “the space guarantee cannot be allocated.”

Recovery  If other swap files are available for the processor, this is an informational message only; no corrective action is needed.

If no other swap files are available for the processor, you must add and enable use of a swap file for the processor to allow process creation. Because you cannot start a new process on the processor, run NSKCOM on another processor. Use the NSKCOM ADD and START commands to add and enable use of a swap file for the processor. You can also use the START command to put the stop-pending file back into use.



209

KMSF SWAPFILE PURGE PENDING: swapfile CPU cpu

swapfile

identifies the kernel‑managed swap file.

cpu

is the processor associated with the swap file.

Cause  The NSKCOM DELETE command was issued against the specified swap file.

Effect  The swap file is marked for deletion in the configuration file ZSYSCFG. Once all processes using the swap file have terminated, the swap file is deleted.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action is needed.



210

KMSF CONFIGURATION FILE NOT FOUND: config-file

config-file

identifies the Kernel‑Managed Swap Facility (KMSF) configuration file.

Cause  A processor being disk booted or bus booted did not find or could not open the KMSF configuration file, $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.ZSYSCFG.

Effect  If space is available on $SYSTEM, KMSF creates and opens a default swap file, $SYSTEM.ZSYSSWAP.SWAPnn, where nn represents the processor number. Otherwise, the processor halts with halt code %3055, “swap create failure.”

Recovery  If the file ZSYSCFG exists but is corrupt, you might be able to recover its contents by opening it with EDIT or TEDIT. If not, make space available on $SYSTEM for default swap files or use the NSKCOM ADD command to rebuild ZSYSCFG and create swap files for all your processors.



211

KMSF CONFIGURATION FILE: config-file

config-file

identifies the current Kernel‑Managed Swap Facility (KMSF) configuration file.

Cause  The Kernel‑Managed Swap Facility (KMSF) has found a configuration file.

Effect  KMSF reads the configuration file to set up swap files.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action is needed.



212

KMSF CONFIGURATION FILE SYNTAX ERROR ON LINE NUMBER : line-num

line-num

is the EDIT line number in the ZSYSCFG file on which the syntax error was detected.

Cause  During startup, a syntax error was detected in the ZSYSCFG configuration file. Normally, you will not receive this message if you use NSKCOM to configure swap files and view and alter the configuration file. The ZSYSCFG file is intended to be altered only by the NSKCOM program. If you receive this message, someone has probably attempted to edit the file.

If there are multiple lines with errors in the ZSYSCFG file, this message is generated for each line.

Effect  The specified line of the configuration file is ignored. Any swap file specified on the line is not added or enabled for use. If there is no swap file configured for a processor, KMSF attempts to create a default swap file for the processor. If KMSF cannot create a default swap file, the processor does not come up. The next time a super‑group user (255, n) runs NSKCOM, the Kernel‑Managed Swap Facility (KMSF) deletes the line from the configuration file.

Recovery  Print the ZSYSCFG configuration file and note the contents of the line that is in error. Run NSKCOM as a super‑group user (255, n) to correct your KMSF configuration. If a swap file was specified on the erroneous line, use NSKCOM to add and enable use of the file.

If this error recurs or is not resolved through NSKCOM, contact the Global Mission Critical Solution Center (GMCSC). Provide all relevant information as follows:

  • A copy of your ZSYSCFG file

  • The contents of the line that is in error

  • Descriptions of the problem and accompanying symptoms

  • Details from the message or messages generated

  • Supporting documentation such as Event Management Service (EMS) logs, trace files, and a processor dump, if applicable

If your local operating procedures require contacting the Global Mission Critical Solution Center (GMCSC), supply your system number and the numbers and versions of all related products as well.



213

KMSF SWAPFILE NOT FOUND: swapfile

swapfile

identifies the kernel‑managed swap file as it is specified in the ZSYSCFG file.

Cause  A swap file listed in the ZSYSCFG configuration file was not found during system startup. One possible reason a swap file might not have been found is that the disk was down when the processor was loading.

Effect  If another swap file is specified for the missing swap file’s processor, the processor uses the other swap file. If no other swap file is specified and there is sufficient space on $SYSTEM, KMSF creates a default swap file for the processor. If KMSF cannot find or create a swap file, the processor does not come up.

Recovery  Check that you have specified the swap file’s name and location correctly in the ZSYSCFG file and that the swap file is on the specified subvolume. If the processor loaded, use the NSKCOM START command to enable use of the swap file. If the processor did not load, ensure that the disk the swap file is on is up when the processor is loaded and reload the processor.



214

KMSF SWAPFILE START FAILED: swapfile CPU cpu

swapfile

identifies the kernel‑managed swap file.

cpu

is the processor that the swap file is configured for.

Cause  When the Kernel‑Managed Swap Facility (KMSF) attempted to enable use of a swap file with the START command, the START command failed. This error can occur during startup or following issuance of the START command. Some possible reasons a START command might fail include:

  • The swap file’s disk is down.

  • The swap file’s file code is incorrect. This error only occurs if you create the file using a program other than NSKCOM or if you alter the file code.

  • The swap file is incorrectly specified for multiple processors and is already in use by another processor.

  • The system is out of physical memory.

Effect  The swap file is not used. If there is a heavy demand for swap space, this might slow system performance.

Recovery  Correct the error and enable use of the file again:

  • If the disk is down, bring the disk up and enable the file.

  • If the file is bad, use NSKCOM to delete the swap file using. Then add and enable use of the swap file.

  • If the swap file’s code is incorrect, delete the file. Then use NSKCOM to add and enable use of the file.

  • If the swap file is specified for multiple processors, add and enable use of another swap file for the each of the other processors.



215

KMSF DEFAULT SWAPFILE USED: swapfile

swapfile

identifies the kernel‑managed swap file.

Cause  During system startup, the operating system either was unable to enable the configured swap files for use or no swap files were configured. The operating system created and enabled a default swap file for use. This error might occur because a configured file was on a disk that was not yet up.

Effect  Processes swap to the default swap file.

Recovery  If you had configured swap files, use the NSKCOM ADD and START commands to enable use of the files.
