Volume Management

Creating Accounts 

In order to create or use files on a nonsystem volume set, the account
structure must exist on the system volume set and the nonsystem volume
set.  If you moved files from the system volume set according to the
instructions in this chapter, you already have the necessary account
structure present on both volume sets.

If you are going to create files in a new account on a new nonsystem
volume set, you must first create the accounts and groups using system
commands on both the system and nonsystem volume sets.  [REV BEG]If the
files are to be built in an existing group and account the entries
already exist on the system volume set.  They only need to be modified
and have appropriate entries built on the target UV set.[REV END]

The system is designed to gain access to accounts through the system
volume set, even though the accounts exist on the nonsystem volume set.
Therefore, entries must be made in two directories (system and nonsystem
directory), and two NEWACCT commands are necessary.  The directory
structures created on the system volume set and the nonsystem volume set
are parallel.  Account structure parameters must be used with the system
commands to keep the directory structures consistent.  Accounts may exist
on different volume sets and [REV BEG]groups in an account can be split
across different volume sets.  For example, PUB.MANUF on system volume
set and PROD.MANUF on PROD_SET.[REV END]


NOTE  Files residing on nonsystem volume sets must have directory entries
      on the system and nonsystem volume set.  Files residing on the
      system volume set do not need directory entries on nonsystem volume
      sets.


Refer to the MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual Volumes 1 and 2 
(32650-90003 and 32650-90364) for a detailed description of this command.

Example:  Creating an Account 

This example shows how to create an account on a nonsystem volume set.

   1.  Use the REPORT command to find out whether the account, ORDERS,
       exists on the nonsystem volume set, PROD_SET.

   2.  The ORDERS account does not exist on PROD_SET [REV BEG](you should
       also have checked previously to make sure the ORDERS account does
       not exist on the system volume set).[REV END] At the system
       prompt, create the account,  ORDERS, on the system volume set with
       the user capabilities AM, SF, ND, CS, PH, IA, BA, UV and CV. Refer
       to the MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual Volumes 1 and 2 
       (32650-90003 and 32650-90364) for a detailed description of user
       capabilities.

   3.  Next create the same account on the nonsystem volume set PROD_SET,
       using NEWACCT with ONVS. ONVS tells the system to create the
       directory entry on the PROD_SET volume set.
