Query Request
The Query Request command is used to obtain information
about a specific request. The request identifier assigned by
VolServ software must be used.
Upon receipt of a request query request, VolServ searches its
request queue for the specified request identifier. If the
specified request is not found, status is returned to the requestor
indicating a non-existent request. If the request is found, the
attribute values associated with the request are returned to the
requestor as shown in the screen display on page 4-59.
After a request completes, the request shows a state of complete
for a short time. Afterwards, all knowledge of the request is
removed from the VolServ system and any subsequent queries
for the command fails.
The report can be sent to the screen, a specified file, or printer.
The default report produces the following information:
Field Description
Request ID The request identifier associated with the
report. The format of the request identifier
is DDD:nnnn
• DDD = Numeric, three digit day (range:
001-365)
• nnnn = Numeric, computer generated
four-digit number
Request Type The type of action the request executes.
Priority The execution priority level of the
command. Valid values are 0 to 35.
Time The date, time, and year the request
query was submitted for the specified
