Active Processes

This data table shows the active processes for all tapeplexes at the time displayed.

To display, select Status and Active Processes on the navigation tree.

You may need to scroll horizontally or detach the table to view all columns.

Click the arrows in any column header to sort the data table by that column in ascending or descending order.

Function	The type of request: AllocSCR: Job allocation request for a scratch VTV. AllocVTV: Job allocation request for a specific VTV. Audit#: Audit utility request. Cancel@: Cancel command. Consold#: Consolidate or export utility task. Consolid: Recall VTVs for remigration to a consolidation MVC. This appears as a child request to an Int_cons or Consold# request. Dismount: Dismount a VTV from a VTD. Display@: Display or query command. Drain: Recall VTVs from MVC for remigration during drain or reclaim processing. This is a child of a VtvMover request. Drain@: Drain command or utility. DrainMVC: There is one DrainMVC request per MVC being drained. DrainMVC, which is a child request of a Drain@ request, is responsible for managing the entire drain process for a single MVC. The VTV column indicates the status of the processing against the MVC. DELETSCR: Delete scratch utility. Getmgpol: Obtain current management and storage class definitions. Getconfig: Get configuration information HSCChnge: Notification of parameter files being changed. Import#: Importing of VTV or MVC by a utility. Int_cons: PGMI initiated consolidate request MEDVERfy: Media Verify parent task Migrate: General request to perform the migrations of VTVs to a MVC. This may appear as a child to other request types. Migrate@: Migrate command or utility. This includes migrates to threshold and auto migrates. Mount: Mount a VTV upon a VTD. Depending upon circumstances, this may be subsequently seen as a VTV transfer or recall request. Move MVC: There is one Move MVC request per MVC being processed by reconcile or archive. Move MVC, which is a child request of a MoveVTV# request, is responsible for managing the entire VTV movement process for a single MVC. The VTV column indicates the status of the processing against the MVC.
	MoveVTV#: This is a request from the ARCHIVE or RECONCILE utility commands to move copies of VTVs between MVCs. The value -TIME- in the VTV column indicates that the ELAPSED parameter was specified. MvcMaint: MVCMAINT utility request. MVC_chek: Check status of MVC. MVC_eot: Reset the end of tape position of a MVC after completing a drain or reclaim. This is a child of either a DrainMVC, ReclmMVC or Move MVC request. MVC_inv: Audit of an MVC. This appears as a child request to an Audit# request.MVCpool#: Obtain details and status of MVC pools for a utility.PGMI_req: A request received through the PGMI interface that has yet to be decoded.Query@l: Query or Display command. MVC_upd: Reset or update MVC status. Recall: General request to perform the recall of VTVs from a MVC. This may include a Cross TapePlex Autorecall (CTA) request from the mounting system.

The value -TIME- in the VTV column indicates that the ELAPSED parameter was specified. ReclmMVC: There is one ReclmMVC request per MVC being reclaimed. ReclmMVC, which is a child request of a Reclaim@ request, is responsible for managing the entire reclaim process for a single MVC. The VTV column indicates the status of the processing against the MVC. Reconcil: Perform a crosscheck between the contents of the two VTSSs in a cluster. Replicat: Perform the replication of VTVs between VTSSs in a cluster. Scratch: Scratch a VTV request from HSC. Sel_scr: PGMI select scratch Set@: Set command. Transfer: Mount a VTV upon a VTD by transferring the VTV between two VTSSs. Unload: Unload MVC from RTD. Uscratch: Unscratch a VTV request from HSC. Vary_dev: Perform very processing against an individual RTD or CLINK. This appears as a child request to an VARY@ request. Vary@: Vary command. VtvMaint: VTVMAINT utility request.
