MIM Resource Sharing (MIM)

Issue/Introduction

Users would like to login to multiple lpars in a sysplex but getting the following message:

 MIM1038I A=01E6 T=8FED90 contention with  A=0031 T=8FED90 OWNS EXCL on MVSD
MIM1039I A=01E6 T=8FED90 needs EXCL SYSIKJUA XHAK

MIMQNAME member has the following defined:

SYSIKJUA GDIF=YES,
       SCOPE=ALL,
EXEMPT=NO,
ECMF=YES,
RPTAFTER=0,
RPTCYCLE=15,
TRACE=NONE

Environment

Release : 12.5
Component : MII

Cause

The current configuration is propagating the SYSIKJUA request globally. This is due to having the definition of SCOPE=ALL.

Resolution

The SYSIKJUA ENQ should remain LOCAL. The same would be true for the SYSIKJBC ENQ.

Therefore, in order to allow multi-system logon, the following commands should be issued:

F MIM,DELQNAME QNAME=SYSIKJBC
F MIM,DELQNAME QNAME=SYSIKJUA

These are global commands, so they only need to issued on one system. 

Remember to update the MIIQNAME member to comment/remove the related statements so that they are not picked up next time MIM is restarted.
