VSOPEN
The VSOPEN command tells the system to open the specified volume set.
The volume set becomes available for use again. Since bringing a volume
set online opens the set (by default), this command is needed only for a
volume set for which a VSCLOSE command has been issued. The PARTVS
parameter has been added to support split-volume backup.
A default VSOPEN of a split-volume set attempts to open both volume set
halves. If it finds that only one of the halves is present, it opens it
and returns no warning for the absent volume set half.
This command may be issued from a session, a job, or in break, but not
from a program. Pressing CTRLY has no effect on this command. This
command may be issued only from the system console.
Task
Opens a volume set and brings it online.
Syntax
VSOPEN volumesetname [[;PARTVS=] {USER }]
[ {BACKUP}]
volumesetname The volume set that is to be opened. The name must
be unambiguous; that is, MPE does not accept part
of a volumesetname and default the remainder of the
name. Required.
PARTVS This parameter is only applicable to a previously
split-volume set. It tells the system which
split-volume set half is to be opened.
USER Open only the user volumes.
BACKUP Open only the backup volumes.
If PARTVS is not specified, both volume set halves
are opened. If PARTVS is specified for a
nonsplit-volume set, an error is returned and the
volume set is not opened.
Example
This example shows how to use the VSOPEN command with the PARTVS
parameter:
