Definitions

[ entry | * ]

Specifies the USER, IDENTITY, or SUBCONFIG directory entry containing minidisks to scan. You can specify entry names with a trailing asterisk to scan minidisks belonging to all entries that start with the indicated characters. If you specify *, which is the default, the scan includes minidisks of all directory entries that you manage.

[ FILE [ filename ] ]

Places the report in a file with the specified filename and a filetype of SCAN on your A-disk. You must have a read/write A-disk if you use the FILE option. The default filename is MDSKSCAN.

If you use the NOWAIT option with the FILE option, the command sends the report to your reader.

[ MANAGER { mgrid | * }]

Specifies the directory manager whose userids’ minidisks to scan. An asterisk for mgrid scans minidisks of all directory managers and displays their userids.

[ NOWAIT ]

Does not wait while the minidisk scan is done. A servant user ID sends you a reader file when the scan completes. This option is valid only if the Servant Facility is enabled.
