Checking the Current Configuration of a Fileset
You can obtain information about the current configuration of a specific fileset by 
entering the SCF INFO FILESET command and specifying the name of that fileset. 
You can obtain configuration information about all filesets by entering the SCF INFO 
FILESET * command.
The SCF INFO FILESET command displays only information about the fileset as it 
currently is defined in the ZOSSFSET file; this information applies only to the next time 
that fileset is restarted. Information about past configurations is not retained.
To identify all disk volumes on which a given fileset has OSS files, search all disk 
volumes on your local node using the SCF STATUS FILESET command with the 
DETAIL parameter. To get the complete list of storage-pool disk volumes used by the 
fileset, the fileset must be started; otherwise, the command returns only the disk 
volumes currently listed in the storage-pool file (the creation pool).
Checking the Current State of a Fileset
To display the state of a fileset, including whether the fileset is currently started 
(mounted), you use the SCF STATUS FILESET command. See STATUS FILESET 
Command on page 12-66 for the command syntax and a description of the display 
information. 
Stopping (Unmounting) a Fileset
You stop an existing, mounted fileset to make it unavailable to users. This action is 
also known as unmounting a fileset.
You stop a fileset under any of the following conditions:
•
Before diagnosing the fileset.
ALTER FILESET When a member of the super group attempts to alter the value of 
a fileset’s AUDITENABLED attribute, an audit record is 
generated. The before and after values of the AUDITENABLED 
attribute are included.
Note. A fileset cannot be stopped until every fileset mounted on it is stopped.
