Volume Management

VOLUTIL Commands 

VOLUTIL commands are organized into groups depending on the ending of the
command.  Commands that end with SET, CLASS, or VOL operate on sets,
classes, and volumes, respectively.

All of the VOLUTIL commands are described in this chapter.  Enter a
VOLUTIL command after the VOLUTIL prompt is displayed.  The VOLUTIL
prompt, volutil: , displays when the VOLUTIL utility is running.

     volutil:  SHOWSET PROD_SET VOLUMES 

VOLUTIL commands can be input in uppercase or lowercase like any system
command.
