Examples of disk commands

Use the disk command examples to monitor I/O and select disks.

This example shows how to use the DSKU major command to monitor the I/O rates of devices at 160 to 16F.


 DSKU16  IMS001    IMS002  ....
 dadr       160       161  ....
 dio .R     1.4         0  ....
================================================================================
 DSKU16  SCRAT1    SCRAT2  ....
 dadr       168       169  ....
 dio .R     2.5       8.7  .... 

The next example shows I/O queue length. For any device with an I/O queue length greater than or equal to 2, the minor commands display the current user, the I/O queue length, and the address.


 DSKQ02   MVSRES   SPOOL
 dusr   *MASTER*    JES2
 dioq          3       2
 dadr        163     167 

The next example selects all private disks.


 DSKV     DB0021   DB0022   DB0023   DB0024   KN0056   KB0087
 dusr   MESSAGE1                            MESSAGE1
 dio .R      2.3                                 5.3 

The next example selects all disks whose volsers begin with WO.
