Purpose

The DISPLAY DISK command provides information about an IBM® 3720 or 3745 Communication Controller's disk contents.

The DISPLAY DISK command displays the following information about the contents of IBM 3720 and 3745 Communication Controller external disk storage:
  • Information about each load module, including:
    • Load module name
    • Date and time the load module was stored on disk
    • Stability of the load module (stored, storing, or suspended)
    • Indication of whether a load module on disk is the same as the load module currently active in the communication controller
    • Module name, requested IPL time, and estimated IPL time (if IPL was specified)
  • Information regarding dumps, including:
    • Dump name
    • Date and time the dump was stored on disk
    Note: Dump information is not displayed until the complete dump has been stored on the hard disk. If you do not receive dump information, try the command again at a later time.
  • An indication of whether the load module is coded to receive automatic IPL

    This is determined by the value of Auto Dump/Load, which controls automatic dumping and reloading of an NCP to or from the hard disk in the event of an NCP abend. See the DUMPLOAD operand on the VARY ACT command for more information.

Operands

ID=ncp_name
Identifies the name of the NCP currently active in the IBM 3720 or 3745 Communication Controller. The contents of that communication controller's external disk storage are displayed.
Note: Although the IBM 3745-410 Communication Controller disk can contain up to four load modules and two dumps, the maximum per CCU is two load modules and one dump. DISPLAY DISK displays only the 3745 storage relative to the NCP specified in the ID operand.

Resulting display

The resulting display provides load module and dump information. Load module and dump source are not provided. To view dump source, use the DISPLAY NCPSTOR command, shown in the DISPLAY NCPSTOR command.

Examples

Displaying a disk containing a load module:
