7 or all disk subsystems.

10 Arguments:
11 subsystem_name
12 is the name of a particular disk subsystem to print the queue for.
13 If none is specified, the queues for all configured disk subsystems
14 are printed.

16
17 Control arguments:
18 -long, -lg
19 print the long form of the information; the extra information
20 printed in this format is the time of the I/O request, the
21 cylinder address and the physical volume name of the drive.
22 -brief, -bf
23 print the normal short form of the information. DEFAULT
24 -all, -a
25 print all queue entries, both from the live queue and the processed
26 queue.
27 -live
28 print only the live queue entries; those for which the requested I/O
29 has not yet been completed. DEFAULT
30
31
32 -last N, -lt N
33 print the last most recent N entries from the queue of already
34 processed requests. To print all available processed queue entries,
35 any large value for N such 100000 may be specified.
36 -erf N
37 print the disk queue from the FDUMP for ERF NNN.
38 -online
39 print the online disk queue. DEFAULT
40 -read
41 print information only for read requests. The default is to print
42 information for both read and write requests.
43 -write
44 print information only for write requests.
45
46
47 -record, -rec, -page, -pg
48 print information only for page record I/O requests. The default

54 Notes:
55 The drive name of the disk drive is printed for both -long and
56 -brief output formats. In -long format the physical volume name is
57 also printed. Due to synchronization between queuing and
58 processing of requests and ring 0 peeking disk_queue will
59 frequently list requests which are not for the subsystem of
60 interest and/or have already been processed. If requests have
61 already been processed, and the used bit is off in the entry, the
62 queue chaining ceases for that drive and an informative message is
63 printed. Queue chaining for other drives continues.
