Re: DASD Service Date

Look at the invoice when the box was purchased or placed on maintenance.

On an individual drive, on the DS6800 you might look for a log file for when 
that dasd was last created.  Lots of log files there.  

But there is no date, that I'm aware of, on the header, vtoc, allocation map, 
etc.
If you have a performance monitor, with history being kept, you might find some 
indication there.  Same goes for a security product.  Perhaps a comment in the 
IOCP deck.

Other than that, find the old grey hair person that was there when it was 
installed G.

Is there a command to see the date DASD was formatted?  Or placed in service?

Not to my knowledge, no, there isn't.

You're probably right as far as exposed details on the S/390 I/O
architecture goes. But I was amazed to see how much the PC drives know
about me :-)

This is one of the pair that I installed during the week before SHARE
when the old drive started to give me errors - that's when I learned
about smartctl to show the number of errors and things like that.

Most likely the storage manager GUI of todays disk subsystems has some
kind of logging that reveals what has been done on the box.

You may be able to see if you have a VTOC date.

The VTOC does not contain a date.
