Folks, Our storage folks have come across a dasd volume that apparently by it's name was one of our VM volumes. Now, none of my 3 vm's have this volume on line and I would like to just have a look see as to what was on the volume. Is there a utility to do this? We have Vmdirect but I don't believe by adding this volume into the pool a map is going to give me anything since no users have it. IF this was z/OS, I would simply use ISPF 3.4 to list the contents of the volume and this is what I was wondering about, it something like that existed in z/VM. Maybe this is something that can't be done due to the nature of it all. Thanx in advance... -- -- Brian W.
