Display the status of a storage group

If you come across the need to check the status of a storage group then you can use the MVS command:

D SMS,SG(storage_group)

For example:

storage group name:  STGTSTVL

RESPONSE=SYST
IGD002I 15:17:43 DISPLAY SMS 939

STORGRP  TYPE    SYSTEM= 1
SGTSTVL  POOL            +
***************************** LEGEND *****************************
. THE STORAGE GROUP OR VOLUME IS NOT DEFINED TO THE SYSTEM
+ THE STORAGE GROUP OR VOLUME IS ENABLED
- THE STORAGE GROUP OR VOLUME IS DISABLED
* THE STORAGE GROUP OR VOLUME IS QUIESCED
D THE STORAGE GROUP OR VOLUME IS DISABLED FOR NEW ALLOCATIONS ONLY
Q THE STORAGE GROUP OR VOLUME IS QUIESCED FOR NEW ALLOCATIONS ONLY
> THE VOLSER IN UCB IS DIFFERENT FROM THE VOLSER IN CONFIGURATION
SYSTEM  1 = SYST

If you would like to list the volumes that are part of the Storage Group, you would then issue the command:

D SMS,SG(SGTSTVL),LISTVOL

IGD002I 15:20:50 DISPLAY SMS 737

STORGRP  TYPE    SYSTEM= 1
SGTSTVL  POOL            +

VOLUME   UNIT    SYSTEM= 1                               STORGRP NAME
TST001   5B22            +                                 SGTSTVL
TST002   5B23            +                                 SGTSTVL
TST003   5B24            +                                 SGTSTVL
