MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual Volume I

LDISMOUNT 

Cancels a previously issued LMOUNT or VSRESERVE command.  This informs
the system that the volume set is no longer reserved system-wide.  The
equivalent native mode command is VSRELEASESYS. (Native Mode)

Syntax 

          [{*            }]
LDISMOUNT [{             }][,groupname[.acctname]]
          [{volumesetname}]
Parameters 

* or <blank>          Specifies the home volume set for the group and
                      account specified, or for the logon group and
                      account if groupname or groupname.acctname is not
                      specified.

volume- setname       An artificial component of a volume set name used
                      to maintain backward compatibility with MPE V/E.
                      The volumesetname can be a maximum of 8 characters.

groupname             Used only for compatibility with MPE V/E. The
                      groupname can be a maximum of 8 characters.

acctname              Used only for compatibility with MPE V/E. The
                      acctname can be a maximum of 8 characters.

Operation Notes 

The LDISMOUNT command negates a previously issued LMOUNT or VSRESERVE
command.  It informs MPE/iX that the volume set is no longer reserved
system-wide.

Volume sets in MPE/iX are not tied to groups and accounts.  This is
different from the MPE V/E scheme of disk partitioning.

Table 2-16 is a comparison of naming conventions for MPE/iX volume sets
and MPE V/E private volumes.  MPE/iX volume set names may consist of any
combination of alphanumeric characters, including the underbar (_) and
the period (.).  The name must begin with an alphabetic character and
consist of no more than 32 characters.

In MPE V/E, the name V.G.A indicates that V is the name of a volume set,
that G is the name of a group, and that A is the name of an account.

MPE/iX accepts that name in that form, but no interpretation is made as
to the referencing of G and A. Instead, MPE/iX accepts that name in that
form, but no interpretation is made as to the referencing of G and A.
MPE/iX treats V.G.A. as a single, long string name, just as it would
treat A_VERY_LONG_NAME_FOR_SOMETHING.

MPE/iX does, however, accept the naming convention that was used for MPE
V/E private volumes.  Therefore, LDISMOUNT V.G.A succeeds, and LDISMOUNT
V accesses the same volume set, provided you are logged on to account A,
group G. The MPE V/E commands are able to "default" the logon account and
group.

However, VSRESERVE V succeeds only if there is a volume set V in
existence.  The MPE/iX commands do not call up any default specifications
for group and account.   VSRESERVE V.G.A succeeds only if a volumeset
V.G.A is online.  With MPE/iX VSxxxxxx commands, the .G.A component of
this name is interpreted as a string, neither more nor less specific than
_G _A.

If a volume set is named according to the MPE V/E naming convention
(V.G.A), you must use an unambiguous reference when using the MPE/iX
volume set commands.

It is recommended that you not use
the MPE V/E naming convention and the xxxMOUNT commands.  Instead use the
MPE/iX naming convention and the VSxxxxxx commands.  Alternating between
MPE V/E and MPE/iX commands may lead to errors.  For example,  MOUNT
X used in a job stream attempts to access a volume set named
X.logongrp.logonacct, which may or may not be your intention.

Use 

This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK.
Pressing Break has no effect on this command.  It may be executed only
from the console unless distributed to users with the ALLOW command.

Examples 

To release a volume set named DATABASE.PAYROLL.ACCTNG, enter:

     LDISMOUNT DATABASE.PAYROLL.ACCTNG 

You may also use the VSRELEASESYS command:

     VSRELEASESYS DATABASE.PAYROLL.ACCTNG
