[About The Guide]
Too many redirection blocks on disk. Run PREPARE or replace the disk.
Occurs on: SFT I. This is an Abend error.
Meaning: This message indicates that the disk redirection area
that Hot Fix uses has become full and the server will
not boot until the problem is repaired.
Cause: This error is caused by having created the disk
redirection table too small or by disk or channel
failure causing excessive bad sectors on the disk.
Solution: A filled disk redirection area usually indicates severe
problems with the disk and/or disk channel. The
problem components should be found and repaired or
replaced. Hot Fix can be reactivated and operation
resumed if the disk redirection area is enlarged by
using the PREPARE utility. This is especially pertinent
if the redirection area was originally created smaller
than normal (the default size is approximately 2
percent of the total disk capacity). Unless the
redirection area was extremely small, enlarging it
should be considered only a temporary solution until
the faulty disk channel component is located and
replaced. Components to check include the disk drive,
controller, Disk Coprocessor board, and connecting
cables. After replacing the faulty components,
COMPSURFing the disk drive may be necessary before
reactivating Hot Fix with PREPARE and restoring backed
up files.
