zFS commands

This section provides a description of zFS commands and batch utilities. In the options section for each command, options are described in alphabetic order to make them easier to locate; this does not reflect the format of the command. The formats are presented the same as on your system.

In addition to displaying z/OS® UNIX reason codes, the z/OS UNIX shell command, bpxmtext, also displays the text and action of zFS reason codes (EFxxnnnn) returned from the kernel. zFS does not use the xx part of the reason code to display a module name. It always displays zFS. If you only know the nnnn part of the zFS reason code, you can use EF00nnnn as the reason code. The date and time returned with the zFS reason code matches the date and time returned from the zFS kernel (displayed with operator command MODIFY ZFS,QUERY,LEVEL).
Restriction: The bpxmtext command is not valid for zFS abend reason codes (EAxxnnnn).
You can use the man command to view the descriptions of zFS command manual pages. To use man pages, enter man followed by the command information you want to display. You must enter the zfsadm command suite entries as one word. Table 1 shows examples of the zFS man commands.
