DVCDATA operation (XRC, CC)

This operation reports the storage control sessions that exist for a device. You can perform this operation regardless of whether XRC or concurrent copy is active on the system. You may only issue the MODIFY command with the DVCDATA operation from a system which has the ANTAS000 address space active.

Specify the device address for the device for which you want session information. The storage control Licensed Internal Code (LIC) must at least support concurrent copy.

Example: Issue the following command to list the existing sessions for the device F40:
F ANTAS000,DVCDATA F40

Result: Possible output in response to this command would be:

ANTX8965I F40 XA01
This means that storage control session 1 is an active XRC session.

The operation output contains: the system data mover message number, ANTX8965I; the specified device (in this case, it is F40); and an individual session report about each session for the specified device (in the example, it is XA01), which includes the following information:

This information for each session has a format of tsnnc, where the following apply:
t
C = concurrent copy session, X = XRC session.
s
A = active session, S = suspended session, Q = quiesced session, T = timed-out session.
nn
The storage control session number.
c
The connection status of the storage control session, as known by the system that issued the command. If c is blank, this host processor owns the session. If c is "*", another processor owns the session. If c is "?", this host processor owns the session, but may or may not have access to the session.
Results: Typical responses for this command are:
Note: If errors occur, this command might also issue I/O error messages.
