VIP Cons: cc______ failed: RC=xx______ RSN=xx______
This message indicates that activation of the VIP console monitor failed. The return code in the message indicates the problem more precisely. For example, 0x0004 indicates the console resource is already active, or in other words, a console by the requested name already exists.
Each VIP agent must have a unique console name. By default, an agent requests a console by the same name as the agent’s taskname.
This console naming failure is typically seen in sysplex environments with multiple VIP agents running with the same job/proc name.
Sites can correct this problem by changing the console name request via these two parameters in VIPPARM1:
VIPCNGRP=SDSVIPGP
VIPCNNAM=SDSVIPCN
Return code 0x000C indicates a security issue. The VIP agent’s user ID does not have READ access to the requested MVS.MCSOPER.console_name resource, where console_name is the name specified on the VIPCNNAM keyword.
