Setting change of the processor blade assigned to LDEVs

The processor blade assigned to the LDEV that is used as a utility volume for Compatible XRC can
be changed only when the XRC session is suspended and the number of the side files of the target
session is zero.

Replacing online microcode

Execution of DEVSERV command on user terminal may display RDF status in EFC field when the
device is online to the IBM host and the online microcode is replaced earlier than 70-03-3x with
70-03-3x and later.

DS QD,9600
IEE459I 17.17.17 DEVSERV QDASD 000
UNIT VOLSER SCUTYPE DEVTYPE CYL SSID SCU-SERIAL DEV-SERIAL EFC
09600 FI9600 2107900 2107900 3339 1900 XX75-64554 XX75-64554 RDF

This shows a difference of functions between DEVSERV command and the device of which host
recognizes. You can resolve this inconsistency by executing following command (xxxx is device
address).

DS QD,xxxx,VALIDATE

DS QD,9600,VALIDATE
IEE459I 17.18.09 DEVSERV QDASD 006
UNIT VOLSER SCUTYPE DEVTYPE CYL SSID SCU-SERIAL DEV-SERIAL EFC
09600 FI9600 2107900 2107900 3339 1900 XX75-64554 XX75-64554 *OK

For the detailed recovery procedure, see DEVSERV Command > Parameter > QDASD section of
the z/OS MVS System Commands manual.

Though RDF appears, the system does not malfunction on this status.

The Extended Manufacture in the XQUERY storage control features report is the same as before
the microcode replacement, if you replace in earlier than 70-03-3x and in the later 70-03-3x
included the version while the XRC session is already running. The reason is The Extended
Manufacture in the report that is from the information of the XADDPAIR command at issue.

Make RESUME by the XADDPAIR command for the session after suspending for XRC session if you
would like to see the latest information in the report.
