  4. Type LISTVOL in the Line Operator column next to a storage group. This displays volume information, such as volume serial numbers, for the storage group. The LISTVOL line operator without any parameters lists all volumes in a storage group. The list displayed depends on the storage group type. See Table 1 for more information.

The DASD Volume STATUS line operator allows users to display 32 sets of SMS and MVS volume statuses corresponding to 32 system names, system group names or both for a volume from the Volume List panel. The Volume List panel only displays eight of the possible 32 sets of SMS and MVS volume statuses at a time. In order to view volume statuses beyond the first eight sets, this line operator has to be entered against the volume on the Volume List Panel. The STATUS line operator can be abbreviated to ST.
