Viewing the Segment Map

To begin the VMFSGMAP session, enter the VMFSGMAP command with the name of the saved segment product parameter file (SEGBLD), the name of the z/VM saved segments component in the saved segment product parameter file (ESASEGS), and the name of the system saved segment build list (SEGBLIST), which is also the name of the associated SEGDATA file:
vmfsgmap segbld esasegs segblist
Note: If you enter only VMFSGMAP, this command will use the default PPF and build list names as shown here.

Entering the VMFSGMAP command places you into an XEDIT session. The initial display is the Segment Map panel. VMFSGMAP divides your system storage into 4 MB ranges: 0-3 MB, 4-7 MB, and so on. If a saved segment or saved system is wholly or partially defined in one of these 4 MB ranges, VMFSGMAP displays a heading for the storage range on the panel, followed by a segment map record for each saved segment or saved system defined in the range. A segment map record identifies the status, name, and type of the saved segment or saved system and pictorially shows the amount of storage used.

If a saved segment is defined in the SEGDATA file and on the system, the segment map record contains the version from the SEGDATA file and indicates by a status code (column 1) how the definitions compare.

Figure 1 shows an example of the Segment Map panel. This example shows that the first 4 MB range of storage that contains a saved segment or saved system is X'004-007' MB. Following the heading for the X'004-007' MB range is a map record for the CMSPIPES saved segment. The map record supplies the following information about CMSPIPES:
  • Its status is 'P', for planned, which means it is defined in the SEGDATA file but not on the system.
  • Its type is DCSS, and it occupies the 1 MB storage range from 7-8 MB.
  • Only the first four 64 KB segments of the DCSS contain data, and the permitted access is read-only.
For information about the syntax of segment map records, see the description of the VMFSGMAP EXEC in the z/VM: VMSES/E Introduction and Reference.
