SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem (G06.28+, H06.05+, J06.03+)

The storage subsystem supports these wild-card characters:
Represents a character string of undefined length. For example, to display the object names of all disks managed
by the storage subsystem: -> NAMES DISK $*
*
Represents a single unknown character in a specific position. For example, to start disks named $DATA00,
$DATA01, and so on: -> START DISK $DATA0?
?
You can use wild-card characters in any combination. For example, this command starts all disks
whose name has D as the second character and the number 0 as the sixth character:
-> START DISK $D???0*
Object States and Substates
The state and substate of an object provide current status information. Knowing the object state
and substate of an object can be critical. Some SCF commands have no effect on an object when
the object is in a particular object state and substate but can affect the object when it is in another
object state and substate. The substate further defines why the object is in a particular object state.
For example, when a disk is being started, it might also need to be revived, which means it is in
the STARTING state, substate REVIVE. Not all objects have substates.
