Displaying volumes using the DISPLAY SMS command

To display the status of specific DASD, tape or optical disk volumes issue the following command:

D SMS,VOLUME(serial-number)

If the volume serial number is of a DASD volume in a pool storage group, you get the generated output on the Operator Display panel shown in Figure 1. In this example, the volume serial number is 123456.
