Find information about some of the problems that you may run into when performing a data migration.
This topic contains information related to some data migration-specific problems that may occur. In many cases, the time you spend planning for the data migration, and performing the data migration according
to instructions can prevent these problems from occurring.
- SRC A900 2000 appears on the control panel display of the server. This SRC appears if the QIPLTYPE is set to 2 or if there is no device description for the console display. This SRC and message are
normal during the data migration procedure. The SRC will disappear when you perform a normal IPL. If no workstation on your server is operational when you receive SRC A900 2000, call your service provider.
- You see Message ID CPF3717: File not selected. File label or file name mismatch for file filename. This type of message occurs most frequently when the incorrect tape is inserted
into the tape drive or when you have incorrect parameters for the RESTORE command.
- Job scheduler entries are not restored on the target server when you migrate from a 4 xx or 5 xx server. You must manually re-create the job scheduler entries on
the target server. If you did not print these entries before you migrated your data, you can get them from the source server.
- The target server cannot read the tapes you used to save the data from your source server. Save the data from a source server using a tape drive that is compatible with the target server.
- You cannot configure your twinaxial devices. If you are using a twinaxial console on the source server and using Operations Console on the target server, you must have a twinaxial controller for any
twinaxial devices you plan to run from the target server.
