The zDP VDG Monitor panel allows you to monitor and manage runtime VDGs.

The contents of this panel refreshes automatically when one of the following zDP actions completes successfully: DELETE, DEFINE, PAUSE, STOP, START, RESUME, UNLINK, LINK. You can manually refresh the panel using the REF primary command.

Use this panel to:

• Define VDG (CV primary command)
• Define target set (CT primary command)
• View SRP usage (U primary command)
• View VDG configuration parameters (S line command)
• View target set storage details (C line command)
• Modify VDG member (M line command)
• Delete VDG from runtime and save it to SFS (D line command)
• Export VDG definition (E line command)
• Query VDGs (Q line command) or view an abbreviated VDG report (R line command)
• Start VDG processing (X line command*) and stop it (P line command*)
• Pause VDG processing (H line command*) and resume (G line command*)
• Create an on-demand snapshot for an active VDG (Z line command*)
• Set SMF parameters (F line command*)
• Release zDP device locks for the VDG (U line command*)
• Clear ECA for an inactive VDG (L line command*)

Commands that are marked with an asterisk (*) in the list can also be run through SCF, as described in the ResourcePak Base for z/OS Product Guide.

Enable automatic refresh

To automatically refresh the data shown in the zDP VDG Monitor panel, specify the refresh interval in the Refresh field. Valid values are 3 through 300 s.

Once automatic refresh is enabled, the panel is locked for input. Issuing an Attention request interrupts the automatic refresh process and unlocks the panel.
