Display resource status

You can use the DISPLAY ID command to display status information about any major or minor node. For example, a request to display a physical unit or a logical unit indicates whether that node has been added by dynamic reconfiguration. DISPLAY ID also indicates whether a logical unit, a physical unit, or a link is supported by the Network Terminal Option (NTO).

Note: From a data host, you cannot display the status of either an NCP or the NCP subordinate resources, because a data host does not own any NCPs.

Two types of node status are displayed when you use the DISPLAY ID command:

The STATUS field shows the current state of the node
The DESIRED STATE field shows the desired state

The desired state is the condition that VTAM® processing is attempting to establish for the node. Previously entered operator commands or recovery processing can establish the desired state for a node. When processing is completed, the desired state and the current state should be the same.

If SNA network interconnection is in use, the DISPLAY command shows:

The network ID associated with a resource (if any)
For a cross-network CDRSC, the real resource name
For a cross-network CDRM, the real name of the gateway node through which the SSCP-SSCP session passes, and the network address as known in the requesting host's network
