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:

|      :VSOPEN PROD_SET; PARTVS=USER  |
|                                     |
