Common SVOS component console commands


The SVOS component console commands that are common to all BMC AMI Storage components are:


ABOUTSRM command (click to expand)

The ABOUTSRM command displays the 

BMC AMI Storage

 version, PUT level, OS version, and last IPL, and the license status of each 

BMC AMI Storage

 component.

Important

The ABOUT command now displays copyright and trademark information for BMC AMI Storage along with sales and support contact information.

CONFIG,REFRESH command (click to expand)

Use the CONFIG,REFRESH console command to cause the configuration component to refresh all configuration information.

You should need to use this command only when an error has occurred. The configuration component automatically refreshes data when changes are noted. No corresponding REFRESH command is available in the view dialog.

This command has no default value. Only one configuration REFRESH can run at a time. If a REFRESH is attempted while another REFRESH is active, an error message is written to the log and the request is rejected.

The following abbreviations are valid for the CONFIG console command:

  • R (REFRESH)
  • C (CONFIG)

Example

SVOS CONFIG,REFRESH
SVOS C,R
CONFIG,DIAG command (click to expand)

Use the CONFIG, DIAG console command to cause the configuration component to snap diagnostic data.

If the DIAG keyword of the command indicates DUMP, BMC AMI Storage snaps all current configuration information. If the DIAG keyword contains a value other than DUMP, BMC AMI Storage snaps diagnostic information related to the specified volume serial (VOLSER) or device address. Use this command only at the request of BMC Customer Support.

This command has no default value. Only one configuration DIAG can run at a time. If a DIAG is attempted while another DIAG is active, an error message is written to the log and the request is rejected.

The following abbreviations are valid for the CONFIG,DIAG console command:

  • D (DIAG)
  • C (CONFIG)

Example

SVOS CONFIG,DIAG(DUMP)
SVOS C,D(DUMP)
SVOS C,D(WORK01)
SVOS C,DIAG(WORK02)
SVOS C,D(85A0)
DISPLAY command (click to expand)

Use the DISPLAY command to show the current parameter values and members in the 

BMC AMI Storage

 component that is running.

The following describes the command syntax. The following abbreviations are valid for the DISPLAY console command:

  • D
  • DISP
  • DISPL
  • DISPLAY

D,FUNC=functionName

Displays information about a specific function

D,FUNC=functionName,FLST

Displays information about a specific function's filter list

D,FUNC=functionName,RLST

Displays information about a specific function's rule list

D,LMOD=loadModuleName

Displays load module information

Example: The command F loader,SVOS D LMOD=loadModule generates message:

SVM0120I loadModuleNameptfNumber|assembly date loaded from STEPLIB|JOBLIB|MLPA|PLPA|FLPA|DYN LPY|LINKLIST|UNKNOWN data set dsn |LPALIB

D,POOL,ALL

Displays information about all pools

D,POOL=poolName

Displays information about a specific pool

D,SPOL,ALL

Displays information about all DFSMS-managed subpools

D,SPOL=subpool

Displays information about a specific DFSMS-managed subpool

D,SYS

Displays the current BMC AMI Storage system definition

Example: F SVOS,SVOS D,SYS

D,TCBS

Displays information from the internal TCB blocks

Example: The command F loader,SVOS D TCBS generates message:

SVM0120I tcbInformation

D,TRCDD

Displays the current maximum limit of ddnames in a job step that BMC AMI Storage will use to inspect IBM control blocks for the existence of a trace ddname. (For more information, see Additional-trace-options.)

D,VARS,ALL

Displays all user-defined variables

D,VARS=variableName

Displays a single user-defined variable

REFRESH command (click to expand)

Use the REFRESH command to rebuild 

BMC AMI Storage

 parameters from the members in the parameter data set.

The following table describes the command syntax. The following abbreviations are valid for the REFRESH console command:

  • R
  • REF
  • REFR
  • REFRESH

REFRESH command syntax

Command syntax

Command function

R,CALS=xx

Causes the SMCALSxx member to be read and all calendar parameters to be rebuilt

When using this command, ensure that the suffix you specify is for the member you want active. For example; if SMCALS00 is currently active and you issue R,CALS=02, SMCALS02 will become active.

R,CRIT=xx

Refreshes the SMCRITxx member

R,DBAS=xx

Refreshes HSM, capacity planning, and space collector databases

R,DIAG=xx

Causes the SMDIAGxx member to be read and all diagnostic parameters to be rebuilt

R,EVNT=xx

Causes the SMEVNTxx member to be read and all event parameters to be rebuilt

R,FUNC=xx

Causes the SMFUNCxx member to be read and all function parameters to be rebuilt, including SMFLSTxx and SMRLSTxx

R,FUNC=functionName,FLST=xx

Causes the specified filter list (SMFLSTxx) for the named function to be rebuilt from the parameter library member

R,FUNC=functionName,RLST=xx

Causes the specified rule list (SMRLSTxx) for the named function to be rebuilt from the parameter library member

R,POOL=xx

Causes the SMPOOLxx member to be read and all pool parameters to be rebuilt

R,SPOL=xx

Causes the SMSPOLxx member to be read and all SMS subpool parameters to be rebuilt

R,SYS=V

Causes the complete BMC AMI Storage component to be rebuilt and all parameters to be refreshed, based on the SMMSYSxx member that is identified by the specified suffix

R,VARS=xx

Causes the SMVARSxx member to be read and all variables to be rebuilt

SET command (click to expand)

Use the SET command to temporarily alter the values of certain 

BMC AMI Storage

 parameters.

Warning

Changes that you make with the SET command are temporary. The parameter values are reset to those defined in the BMC AMI Storage PARMLIB members after BMC AMI Storage is stopped and restarted.

The following table describes the SET command syntax. The following abbreviations are valid for the SET console command:

  • T
  • SET

SET command syntax

Command syntax

Command function

T,FUNC=functionName,ACTIVE=YES|NO

Temporarily changes the status of the specified function

T,FUNC=functionName,MSG=I|W|E|S|N

Temporarily changes the MSG parameter of the specified function to information (I), warning (W), error (E), severe (S), or none (N)

T,FUNC=functionName,SMF=E|I|N

Temporarily changes the SMF message parameter for the specified function to information (I), warning (W), error (E), severe (S), or none (N)

T,MSGID,YES|NO|DEB

Temporarily changes the message ID to allow or suppress the message ID from being issued with BMC AMI Storage messages

Note: Use the debug option (DEB) only as directed by BMC Customer Support. This option adds diagnostic information to messages that are written to the job log.

T,MSGPREF,xxx

Temporarily changes the message prefix characters

T,SMFID,nnn

Temporarily changes the SMFID

The new value should be in the range from 129 to 255, or 0 (zero) to disable recording.

Example:

F SVOS,SVALLOC
T SMFID,255

T,TRCDD,nnnn

Specifies the maximum limit for determining the presence of any BMC AMI Storagetrace ddname in a job step.

By default, BMC AMI Storage will inspect up to 50 ddnames allocated to a job step. You may use the display command (SVOS D,TRCDD) to see the current TRCDD setting. Specifying a TRCDD value of 0 will effectively disable use of the BMC AMI Storage trace ddnames (MODTRCDD/TRACEDD/IGNOREDD/DUMPDD/DIAGMSDD). For more information, see Additional-trace-options.

T,TRKCYL,nnnnn

Temporarily changes the default cylinder size (tracks per cylinder)

T,TRKLEN,nnnnnn

Temporarily changes the default track size (bytes per track)

Additional commands that are used to support a specific component of BMC AMI Storage are documented in the using information for the component.
