QUERY VDG

The QUERY VDG command displays VDG information.

Syntax

QUERY VDG {vdg_name|*}

[,DEVice[,COPY_ONCE]]

[,SNAPSET[,DETAIL][,COPY_ONCE]]

[,start_dev[-end_dev]]

[,STATUS]

[,SYMM(gk)]

NOTE:The SNAPSET keyword may only be followed by DETAIL, COPY_ONCE, STATUS, SYMM(gk), or start_dev[-end_dev].
NOTE:VDG is an alias for VERSIONED_DATA_GROUP. You can also use optional parenthesis as follows: VDG(vdg_name).

Command-specific parameters

DEVice[,COPY_ONCE]

Generates a report of the devices that are included in the VDG definition.

COPY_ONCE

Filters the display to include only copy-once devices. For each copy-once device, displays the last snapset containing the copy-once device.

The COPY_ONCE parameter can be specified only once per command. If both DEVice and SNAPSET keywords are specified on the same command, the COPY_ONCE parameter applies to both DEVice and SNAPSET queries.

SNAPSET[,DETAIL][,COPY_ONCE]

Displays the snapsets created for the VDG.

NOTE:The SNAPSET keyword may only be followed by DETAIL, COPY_ONCE, STATUS, SYMM(gk), or start_dev[-end_dev].
COPY_ONCE

Displays only snapsets that contain copy-once devices.

The COPY_ONCE parameter can be specified only once per command. If both DEVice and SNAPSET keywords are specified on the same command, the COPY_ONCE parameter applies to both DEVice and SNAPSET queries.

DETAIL
Displays each device in the snapset.
start_dev[-end_dev]

Narrows the query to the specified range of devices.

STATUS

Displays VDG status, cycle, and properties.

SYMM(gk)

Narrows the query to the storage system specified with the gatekeeper CCUU.

Example 1: QUERY VDG STATUS

The following example shows QUERY VDG,STATUS output:

EMCP001I QUERY VDG VDG_TEST,STATUS

EIP0020I  VDG EMC_SECURE is Inactive, Cycle 0
