Generating a DASD Volume List

z/OS DFSMS Using the Interactive Storage Management Facility
SC23-6856-00

This example shows how to generate a DASD volume list. Generating a volume list is similar to generating a data set list.

Choose the Volume Application (option 2) from the ISMF Primary Option Menu. Once this is done, select DASD (option 1) on the Volume List Selection Menu.

  1. Complete the Volume Selection Entry Panel with the values shown in Figure 1.

            Optionally Specify One or More:
            Enter "/" to select option  _   Generate Exclusive list
              Type of Volume List . . . 1          (1-Online,2-Not Online,3-Either)
              Volume Serial Number  . . *          (fully or partially specified)
              Device Type . . . . . . .            (fully or partially specified)
              Device Number . . . . . .            (fully specified)
                To Device Number  . . .            (for range of devices)
              Acquire Physical Data . . N           (Y or N)
              Acquire Space Data  . . . N          (Y or N)
              Storage Group Name  . . .            (fully or partially specified)
              CDS Name . . . . . . .
                                                   (fully specified or 'Active')
     Use ENTER to Perform Selection; Use DOWN Command to View next Selection Panel;
     Use HELP Command for Help; Use END Command to Exit.

    In this example, a new list of SMS volumes is generated from a partially specified volume serial number.

  2. Verify that pages 2 and 3 of the Volume Selection Entry Panel are blank. If they are not blank, you receive the short informational message OTHER VALUES PRESENT.
  3. Press the ENTER key. ISMF generates and displays the completed volume list shown in Figure 2. This list conforms to the selection criteria.
