This section contains commands that are used to create, modify, and delete count key data (CKD) logical volumes for zSeries systems and to display logical volume information.
The chckdvol command modifies the nickname that you assigned to the count key data (CKD) base volume.
The lsckdvol command generates a report that displays a list of count key data (CKD) base and alias volumes in a storage unit and the status information for each volume in the list.
The mkaliasvol command creates zSeries CKD alias volumes (generally referred to as parallel access volumes or PAVs) in a storage unit.
The mkckdvol command creates zSeries count key data (CKD) base CKD volumes in a storage image.
The rmckdvol command deletes one or more specified count key data (CKD) base or alias volumes from a storage unit.
