Displaying your disk configuration (software view)

When you display your software disk configuration, you see how disk units are assigned to auxiliary storage pools (ASPs) and how they are protected. A separate display shows disk units that are attached to the system but have not been assigned to an ASP (nonconfigured status).

To display the software configuration of disk units on your system, follow these steps:

  1. From the User Dedicated Service Tools (DST) menu, follow these steps:
    1. Select option 4 (Work with disk units).
    2. Select option 1 (Work with disk configuration) on the Work with Disk Units display.
    3. Select option 1 (Display disk configuration) on the Work with Disk Configuration display.
    or from the System Service Tools (SST) menu, follow these steps:
    1. Select option 3 (Work with disk units).
    2. Select option 1 (Display disk configuration) on the Work with Disk Units display.
    The Display Disk Configuration menu appears.
                              Display Disk Configuration
       Select one of the following:
          1. Display disk configuration status
          2. Display disk configuration capacity
          3. Display disk configuration protection
          4. Display non-configured units
          5. Display device parity status
          6. Display disk hardware status
       
  2. Select option 1 to see the Display Disk Configuration Status display:
                         Display Disk Configuration Status
                   Serial                  Resource

    Press Enter to continue.
    
    F3=Exit        F5=Refresh         F9=Display disk unit details
    F11=Disk configuration capacity   F12=Cancel 
    Note: If you are performing a complete system restore, all the disk units on the system might not report in right away. Verify that the number of disk units displayed matches the number of disk units physically attached to the system. If they do not match, wait a few minutes and press F5 (Refresh) until all of the disk units report in.
  3. If the lower right of the display says More…, you can page forward to see additional units.
  4. To display the capacity of your disk units and how much capacity is used, press F11 from the Display Disk Configuration Status display or select option 2 from the Use Dedicated Service Tools (DST) menu:
                          Display Disk Configuration Capacity

  5. To display the disk protection that is configured for each disk unit, press F11 again:
  6. To display nonconfigured disk units, press F11 from the Display Disk Configuration Protection display or select option 4 from the Display Disk Configuration menu:
                           Display Non-Configured Units
     Serial                   Resource
     Number      Type  Model  Name        Capacity  Status
     00-0313374  6602   074   DD003          773    DPY/Active 
  7. To print the software disk configuration, use the print key from the displays.
    If your system already has a printer defined for DST, the output is sent to that printer. If you do not have a DST printer defined, you are prompted with a list of attached printers. When you are using DST, output goes directly to the printer because spooling is not active.
  8. If you have no other tasks to perform, end DST or SST.
