Displaying volume status

The OAM display volume command shows information about tape and optical volumes associated with object support.

The following command syntax displays volume status:


>>-+-DISPLAY-+--SMS,-+-VOLUME-+-(volser)-+----------------+----><
   '-D-------'       '-VOL----'          '-,L=-+-a------+-'   
                                               +-name---+     
                                               '-name-a-'

DISPLAY: Specifies the OAM display command.
VOLUME,volser: Displays the status of the requested tape or optical volume. There is no option to display all volumes known to the system; however, you can use ISMF to display the optical and tape volume lists.
L={a | name | name-a}: Specifies the location where the results of the inquiry are to be displayed, where name is the console name, and a is the display area on the console screen.

To display optical or object tape volume status, enter the following command:

DISPLAY SMS,VOLUME(volser)

This results in F OAM,D,VOL,volser command being issued.

Specifying volser displays the status of the requested optical volume and its opposite-side volume.
