Generating Diagnostic Data
The OSM Service Connection provides several options for setting up for and generating diagnostic
information about the system resources it monitors. Among them is the System action Collect
Diagnostic Data, which generates Diagnostic Data files for the system. For detailed information
about this and other commands that set up for or perform diagnostic data generation, see the OSM
Service Connection User’s Guide.
Using SCF
Use the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) to display information and current status for all the devices
on your system known to SCF. Some SCF commands are available only to some subsystems. The
objects that each command affects and the attributes of those objects are subsystem specific. This
subsystem-specific information appears in a separate manual for each subsystem. A partial list of
these manuals appears in “Related Reading for Printers” (page 163).
Determining Device States
This section explains how to determine the state of devices on your system. For example, to monitor
the current state of all tape devices on your system, at an SCF prompt:
-> STATUS TAPE $*
Example 7 shows the results of the SCF STATUS TAPE $* command:
