Script to list channel attached direct access storage devices (DASD); from zconf. |
| lsqeth (v1.4.0) |
Script to list all qeth-based network devices with their corresponding settings; from zconf. |
| lstape (v1.3.0) |
Script to list channel attached tape devices; from zconf. |

Display information on the message display facility of a zSeries tape device. |
| tunedasd (v1.3.0) |
Adjust tunable parameters on DASD devices. |
| vmconvert (v1.3.2)
|
Convert system dumps created by the z/VM VMDUMP command into dumps with LKCD format.
These LKCD dumps can then be analyzed with the dump analysis tools lcrash or crash. |
| vmcp (v1.5.0) |
Allows Linux users to send commands to the z/VM control program (CP). The normal usage is to invoke vmcp with the command you want to execute. The response of z/VM is written to the standard output. |
| vmur (v1.6.2) |
Allows to work with z/VM spool file queues (reader, punch, printer). |
| (zconf) |
Set of scripts to configure and list status information of Linux on System z I/O devices.
- chccwdev: Modify generic attributes of channel attached devices.
- lscss: List channel subsystem devices.
- lsdasd: List channel attached direct access storage devices (DASD).
