STATESAVE operation (XRC)

This operation has several options provided by XRC support. The options are: device address and session number, SHOW, SHOW2, RESET, and RESET2.

device address/session number/N
This option directs a storage control to dump its internal control queues, called a state save.
device address
Tells XRC which storage control to direct the request to. Devices defined in an alternate subchannel set can be specified by coding a 5-digit device address, where the leading digit indicates the subchannel set in which the device is physically defined. If you specify fewer than 5 digits, the command is issued to the device that is currently logically in subchannel set 0. If a HyperSwap has occurred, this could be the device that was physically defined in an alternate subchannel set.
session number
Is the XRC storage control session number. If a number is not applicable, use zero.
N
Requests a non-disruptive state save, that is, a state save without warmstart. If the storage control microcode doesn't support a non-disruptive state save, and the SCTRAP setting is ON, a standard state save is taken.

Example: The following example is the device address/session number operation:

F  ANTAS000,STATESAVE  F40  4
SHOW
The SHOW option directs XRC to show the timestamp of the last state save. The state save is taken for the primary storage controls associated with a logical XRC session.

Example: The following example is the SHOW operation:

F ANTAS003,STATESAVE SHOW
SHOW2
The SHOW2 option directs XRC to show the timestamp of the last state save. The state save is taken for the secondary storage controls associated with a logical XRC session.

Example: The following example is the SHOW2 operation:

F ANTAS003,STATESAVE SHOW2
RESET
The RESET option directs XRC to reset to zero for the timestamp of the last state save. The state save is taken for the primary storage controls associated with a logical XRC session.

Example: The following example is the RESET operation:

F ANTAS003,STATESAVE RESET
RESET2
The RESET2 option directs XRC to reset to zero for the timestamp of the last storage control state save. The state save is taken for secondary storage controls associated with a logical XRC session.

Example: The following example is the RESET2 operation:

F ANTAS003,STATESAVE RESET2
