The query dasd details command covers the basic information for a device. You also have a query duplex command and a query pav command. It would be nice to have the duplex/pav commands as options to the query dasd command.
Maybe Chuckie can whip this up for us over the up coming holidays! :-) HITACHI DATA SYSTEMS Raymond E.

My MVS counterpart is doing the MVS volumes (under a z/OS partition), and I'm doing the VM ones. When I issue the CP Q DASD DETAILS command on a MVS volume known to VM, I get the following results: q dasd details 400 0400 CUTYPE = 3990-EC, DEVTYPE = 3390-0C, VOLSER = DSMP01, CYLS = 10017 CACHE DETAILS: CACHE NVS CFW DFW PINNED CONCOPY -SUBSYSTEM Y Y Y - N N -DEVICE Y - - Y N N DEVICE DETAILS: CCA = 00, DDC = 00 DUPLEX DETAILS: -- When this volume is queried on MVS, it shows that it is the primary of a duplexed pair. Why doesn't VM show this information also? ----------------- Judson West Teradata, a division of NCR Corporation -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alan Altmark Sent: Monday, December 11, 2006 1:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: PPRC and R/W Minidisks On Monday, 12/11/2006 at 12:04 PST, Judson West <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am trying to establish a PPRC pairing and DSF says that it wants me to > link R/W to the primary fullpack minidisks.

Metro Mirror (nee PPRC) applies to an entire volume, not a minidisk. > I am always nervous at these times... But that's why you backed up the volume before you started down this path. :-) Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
