SCAN REALVOLS Command

The syntax of the SCAN REALVOLS command is as follows:

SCAN REALVOLS,SHOWVOL

SCAN REALVOLS=

This parameter tells CA Disk to scan real, online volumes. It will cause CA Disk to process all real volumes in your installation that are currently available. The volumes to be scanned can be restricted by using the SELECT and/or EXCLUDE commands. More information regarding volume selection can be found in SELECT Command and EXCLUDE Command.

SHOWVOL=

Use this parameter to instruct CA Disk to issue an explicit message (2860) to inform you when it starts processing a DASD volume (that is, begins to scan the volume's VTOC). The message helps relate any subsequent errors or warning conditions that CA Disk can encounter to a specific DASD volume. The issuance of this message can be made automatic by specifying sysparm DLVOLMSG with a value of Y (the default value).
