Below are two commands to review the system logs for disk errors.
Sign on as Manager.SYS. Do a LISTF LOG####,2 to find the start and ending Log files. Alter the log file number range in the commands and enter the commands in LOGTOOL.
list log=3404/3477 type=111 "device class"="hard disc",da,ca,"bus converter" out=LogOut1
list log=3404/3477 TYPE=111;'MGR CODE'= 241,242,900,901,951 out=LogOut2
The results are written to two files LOGOUT1 and LOGOUT2.
I had this setup to run weekly on my systems. And if the files had errors in them the job would email the results to me for review.
Note that you will see errors due to SCSI or FC resets on every boot, so check the time stamps to tell if the boot caused the error.
