About this task

A value of 1 requeues all I/O requests to the block layer in case of an autoquiesce event. Use a value of 0 to stop the device.

Examples

  • To stop the DASD device, write 0 to the aq_requeue attribute:
    $ echo 0 > /sys/bus/ccw/0.0.1234/aq_requeue
    where 0.0.1234 is the device-bus ID of the DASD.
  • To requeue all I/O requests to the block layer in case of an autoquiesce event, issue:
    $ echo 1 > /sys/bus/ccw/0.0.1234/aq_requeue
