Displaying Current Status Information 
The STATUS SUBSYS Command (page 14-127) displays current information about the 
storage subsystem manager:
-> STATUS SUBSYS $ZZSTO 
Using the PRIMARY SUBSYS Command
The PRIMARY SUBSYS command replaces a series of PRIMARY commands for 
individual IOPs in the topology branch. The PRIMARY SUBSYS command does not 
start any processes.
At the completion of the command, the PRIMARY SUBSYS command returns a list of 
the IOPs that did not move the primary IOP. You must handle any exceptions 
individually.
On G06.10 and earlier RVUs, a primary processor change by one disk IOP might 
cause other disk IOPs to lose controller ownership and thus cause those other disk 
IOPs to perform primary changes. See Guidelines for G06.10 and Earlier RVUs on 
page 8-6.
BulkIO  shows whether direct bulk I/O is on or off.  
LabelTape shows whether labeled-tape operation is on or off. 
UPS shows whether the uninterruptible power supply option is on or off.
Note. M8xxx disks are described in Types of Magnetic Disks on page 6-2
