Command Reference › MDSKSCAN Command › Description

Description

The MDSKSCAN command reports on the minidisks allocated to specified user IDs. It reports only on minidisks allocated on volumes that are defined in the DASD CONFIG file.

This command provides information such as the virtual address of the minidisk, the minidisk type, block size, number of files, total size, percent of utilization, and date and time of last update. It does this by calling the VMXAQD MODULE to access and query each minidisk in a read‑only mode.
