MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual Volume I

VMOUNT 

Enables or disables the MPE/iX movable volume facility.  (Native Mode)

Syntax 

VMOUNT {ON[,AUTO]}[;ALL]
       {OFF      }
Parameters 

ON or ON,AUTO         Enables the movable volume facility so that all
                      valid user MOUNT/VSRESERVE and operator
                      LMOUNT/VSRESERVESYS requests are allowed.  When ON
                      is used without AUTO, the operator must reply to
                      all MOUNT/VSRESERVE requests.

                      When ON,AUTO is used, MPE/iX attempts to
                      satisfy user MOUNT/VSRESERVE and operator
                      LMOUNT/VSRESERVESYS requests without operator
                      intervention.

OFF                   Requests to use the movable volume facility are
                      rejected.

ALL                   Prints all volume set mount-related console
                      messages, including those not requiring operator
                      intervention, on the console.

Operation Notes 

If the movable volume facility is enabled when you issue a VMOUNT OFF
command, users having reserved volume sets are unaffected; the command is
satisfied when the last access is complete.

The MPE/iX naming convention for volume sets differs from that of MPE V/E
for private volumes.  Refer to the MOUNT, DISMOUNT, VSRESERVE, and
VSRELEASE commands in this chapter.

Once the movable volume facility has been enabled, use the VSUSER command
to determine which users have which volume sets reserved.  Refer to the
VSUSER command in this chapter.

The movable volume facility is enabled immediately following a system
startup.  (The setting is equivalent to VMOUNT ON,AUTO.) However, you
still receive console messages concerning volume set requests.

The operator has the greatest interactive control over the use of volume
sets by using VMOUNT ON;ALL. The command that least interrupts the
operator when users are accessing volume sets is VMOUNT ON,AUTO.

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 issued only from
the console unless distributed to users with the ALLOW command.

Examples 

To disable the movable volume facility so that no messages are sent to
the console when users attempt to reserve volume sets (the default
condition) enter:

     VMOUNT OFF 

To disable the movable volume facility and still receive messages on the
console when users attempt to reserve volume sets, enter:

     VMOUNT OFF;ALL
