Why are SWSA shadow tunnels failing to be created in Target LPARs?

Question & Answer


Question

SWSA Shadow tunnels for Sysplex distributed Targets are not being created. The following messages are seen in the IKE/TRMD debug logs on the Sysplex Distributor LPAR:

EZD0830I Tunnel distribution failed : 03/20/2019 14:50:48.17 vpnaction=xxxxxx tunnelID= Yx AHSPI= 0 ESPSPI= xxxxxxxxxx
EZD0831I Tunnel takeover preparation failed : 03/20/2019 14:50:48.17 vpnaction= xxxxxx tunnelID= Yx AHSPI= 0 ESPSPI= xxxxxxxxxx

Answer

both the , ezd0830i and ezd0831i messages indicate an EZBDVIPA Coupling facility structure issue ocurred trying to setup the SWSA shadow tunnel(s).

D NET,STATS,TYPE=CFS,STRNAME=EZBDVIPA,list=all

The EZBDVIPA structure display shows that there is only have 1 entry created and it is taking up 100% of the defined ezbdvipa structure size. This indicates that that the ezbdvipa CF structure size is too small

 This message shows the structure size.  
 curr_size is the current size, in kilobytes, of the structure. This 
 is the amount of storage currently allocated for the structure.     
 max_size is the maximum size, in kilobytes, of the structure. This  
 is the value coded for the SIZE parameter on the structure          
 definition in the CFRM policy.                                      
 percent ? ***NA*** is displayed for this value.                     
 ***NA*** is displayed if these statistics are temporarily           
 unavailable.

 This message shows the number of list entries allocated for the     
 structure.                                                          
 curr_entries is the current number of list entries allocated for the
 structure.                                                          
 max_entries is the maximum number of list entries that can be       
 allocated for the structure at its current size.                    
 percent is the fraction of entries in use.
