Keith,

This is one case where the quest is case-sensitive.
Try: q vol /adsm/vg014/00000026.BFS

Good lock,
Jim Schneider

Subject: [ADSM-L] Syntax for query volume where deviceclass=file

I'm in syntax purgatory trying to get output from "query volume" on a
devclass=file storage pool. If I add the reported volume name as an
argument, 'No match' is returned to the query. If I omit the Volume
name, and append 'deviceclass=file' or 'stg=<stgpool_name>', with
format=detailed, normal output is returned but for all volumes in the
storage pool.  No library or paths or storage agents are defined on this
TSM server.   Would someone please clear the smoke for me? 

Here is what I'm doing and the output.

tsm: TSMVEI01>q vol stg=vmsnap
