The information services supply information
- for the VM2000 administrator
- on the distribution of VM2000 resources (
/SHOW-VM-RESOURCES) - the device status (
/SHOW-VM-DEVICE-STATUS) - on the assignment sets (
/SHOW-VM-ASSIGNMENT-SET) - on one-off or periodic monitored data for the overall VM2000 system (
/SHOW-VM-STATUS) - on the attributes of CPU pools (
/SHOW-VM-CPU-POOL) - on the attributes of VM groups (
/SHOW-VM-GROUP) - on the attributes of VM definitions (
/SHOW-VM-DEFINITION)
- on the distribution of VM2000 resources (
- for the privileged VM administrator
on the distribution of VM2000 resources (
/SHOW-VM-RESOURCES)the device status (
/SHOW-VM-DEVICE-STATUS)
for the VM administrator
on on the attributes of his/her VM (
/SHOW-VM-ATTRIBUTES)
You will find examples of the VM2000 information commands and their outputs within the relevant command descriptions in the chapter "VM2000 commands".
VM2000 supplies output in S variables for all information commands, with the exception of /SHOW-VM-STATUS, when these commands are executed in a user task. The S variables can be evaluated with the software product SDF-P. For the structure of the S variables, see the relevant command descriptions in the chapter "VM2000 commands".
Information on the resources of VM2000
The attributes of the VMs, the status of the VM2000 resources and VM2000-specific information on the configuration of the Server Unit are shown with /SHOW-VM-RESOURCES, see "SHOW-VM-RESOURCES (Output status of VM2000 resources)".
This command is only permitted for the VM2000 administrator and VM administrators with ADMIN-PRIVILEGES=*MAXIMUM.
Information on the device status of VM2000
Using /SHOW-VM-DEVICE-STATUS you can display detailed information on the devices and their properties, see "SHOW-VM-DEVICE-STATUS (Output detailed device information)".
This command is only permitted for the VM2000 administrator and VM administrators with ADMIN-PRIVILEGES=*MAXIMUM.
Information on the assignment sets of VM2000
/SHOW-VM-ASSIGNMENT-SET outputs detailed information on the assignment sets and their assignment to the VMs, see "SHOW-VM-ASSIGNMENT-SET (Output assignment sets)".
This command is reserved for the VM2000 administrator.
Information on the VM2000 load
/SHOW-VM-STATUS provides the VM2000 administrator with an overview of the current monitored data on active objects under VM2000, see "SHOW-VM-STATUS (Output VM2000 monitored data)".
The one-off output of monitored data (PERIOD=*RECENT) takes place synchronously to command execution and shows the monitored data from the immediate past. The one-off output can be called in parallel by multiple VM2000 administrators.
The periodic output of monitored data (PERIOD=<integer>) takes place asynchronously wherever the last /SHOW-VM-STATUS command was entered. Periodic output can only be used by one VM2000 administrator. An active /SHOW-VM-STATUS command with periodic output will be terminated if a new /SHOW-VM-STATUS PERIOD=*NO command is issued from the same input medium (ADMIN dialog of the monitor VM or BS2000 console), by the termination of the associated ADMIN dialog or by a shutdown.
Information on the attributes of CPU pools
/SHOW-VM-CPU-POOL outputs detailed information on the CPUs in a CPU pool and the VMs assigned to the CPU pool, see "SHOW-VM-CPU-POOL (Output attributes of a CPU pool)".
This command is reserved for the VM2000 administrator.
Information on the attributes of VM groups (SU /390)
/SHOW-VM-GROUP outputs detailed information on the attributes of the VM groups and the associated VMs, see "SHOW-VM-GROUP (Output attributes of VM group (SU /390))".
This command is reserved for the VM2000 administrator.
Information on VM definitions
/SHOW-VM-DEFINITION is used to display detailed information on the attributes, resources, devices and specifications for automatic start of the guest system on the VM which is entered for a VM in the VM definition, see "SHOW-VM-DEFINITION (Output attributes of a VM definition)".
This command is reserved for the VM2000 administrator.
Information on the attributes of a VM
The attributes of an initialized VM are output using /SHOW-VM-ATTRIBUTES, see "SHOW-VM-ATTRIBUTES (Output attributes of a VM)".
This command is intended for use by the VM administrator.
