Using EZCmd menus to access resource specific information

EZCmd menus provide you with numerous options for viewing information about a selected pool, volume, storage group, data set, or other resource.

You can access EZCmd menus from most views within MainView SRM.

Select the first data field in a row on a view to display the EZCmd menu for the pool, volume, storage group, data set, or other resource that you chose. For example, when you select the first field from any MainView SRM view that displays pool or storage group information, you advance to the Group EZCmd menu (EZPOOL).

Alternatively, instead of navigating through menus, you can manually invoke an EZCmd menu to set the filters. To do so, use the command syntax shown in the 'Manual invocation' column in the following table.
