Displaying a SVC copy description

The Display SVC Copy Description (DSPSVCCPYD) command shows the current properties of a copy description.

The Display SAN Volume Controller Copy Description (DSPSVCCPYD) command displays Storage Area Network Volume Controller (SVC) ASP copy descriptions. This information is useful to determine the current properties of the copy description such as the device domain, storage units, and volumes associated with the copy.

The Display SVC Copy description screen can be accessed by using:

the Work with Cluster (WRKCLU) command menu. Select option 10, Work with ASP copy descriptions and use option 5, Display copy to show the current information contained in the selected copy description.
entering the WRKSVCCPYD command that opens the Work with ASP Copy Descriptions screen. Locate the copy description and use option 5, Display copy to show the current information contained in the selected copy description.
typing the DSPSVCCPYD command and pressing F4.

To display an SVC copy description with the DSPSVCCPYD command, follow these steps:

Type DSPSVCCPYD on the command line and press Enter.
Enter the name of the SVC copy description to display.
Type in the name if the device domain, or * to indicate the device domain for the current node.
Enter * to display the SVC copy description information on the screen or *PRINT to print the output in a spool file.
Press Enter to display or print the copy description.

As a command sequence, type in:

DSPSVCCPYD ASPCPY(copy description-name) DEVDMN(*|device domain-name) OUTPUT(*|*PRINT)

to display a particular SVC copy description in a particular way.

Verify that the entries in the copy description are configured correctly. If changes are required, they are made with the CHGSVCCPYD command.
