DUMPVOLUME: Listing information about a single dump volume or a set of dump volumes

Explanation: DUMPVOLUME is a required parameter you specify to request a list of information about a single dump volume or a set of dump volumes. For volser, substitute any volser from a set of volumes that collectively represents a dump of a user volume. The following information is listed first about the dump volume:

Dump volume serial number
Copy pool (Y|N)
Volume status
Dump volume unit type
Dump class
Dump expiration date
IDRC status
Physical percent full
Library status
HWCOMPRESS(Y|N)
Encryption value
Tape hardware encryption

The following information is then listed about each valid dump copy that is stacked on the dump volume:

File sequence number
Source volume serial number
SMS status
Dump creation date and time
Set of dump volume serial numbers

See Figure 3 for an example of the listed information.

Defaults: None.

Note:

If the volser specified is not part of a valid dump copy, only the dump class, volume serial, and volume unit type of the specified volser is listed.
If host based encryption is specified and the SMS data class is set up for tape hardware encryption, the host based encryption is ignored in favor of doing tape hardware encryption. If more than one DUMPCLASS is specified (creating more than one dump copy) and they are set up for host based encryption, but the associated SMS data classes do not agree in their tape hardware encryption settings, the dump function fails.
