VSOPEN
Reopens a volume set that has been closed with VSCLOSE. The volume set
becomes available for use again. (Native Mode)
Syntax
VSOPEN volumesetname [[;PARTVS=] {USER }]
[ {BACKUP}]
Parameters
volume- setname The volume set to be opened. You must specify an
unambiguous name. MPE/iX does not accept part of a
volumesetname and defaults the remainder of the
name. Refer to "Operation Notes."
PARTVS This option is available only with the Mirrored
Disk/iX, a separately purchased product. For
information, refer to Mirrored Disk/iX User's Guide
(30349-90003). This parameter only applies to a
previously split volume set. It notifies 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 non split
volume set, an error is returned and the volume set
is not opened.
Operation Notes
This command notifies the system to open the specified volume set.
Because 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 MPE/iX naming convention for volume sets differs from that of MPE V/E
for private volumes. In MPE V/E, the name A.B.C indicates that B is the
name of a group and that C is the name of an account. MPE/iX accepts
that name, but no interpretation is made as to the referencing of B and
C. Instead, MPE/iX treats A.B.C as a single, long string name. It is the
flexibility of the MPE/iX naming convention that makes it possible for
MPE/iX to work with a volume set designated A.B.C.
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.
A volume set called MY_OWN_PERSONAL_VOLUME_SET is acceptable in MPE/iX,
and so is MY.OWN.PERSONAL.VOLUME.SET; similarly, A.B.C is acceptable.
If a volume set is named according to the MPE V/E naming convention
(A.B.C), you must use an unambiguous reference when using the MPE/iX
volume set commands, such as:
Vcommand A.B.C
Entering Vcommand A fails to access the volume set. You cannot specify
the first part of the volume set name alone and expect the group and
account to default.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK.
Pressing Break has no effect on this command. This command may be issued
only from the system console unless distributed to other users with the
ALLOW command.
Examples
To open the volume set ACCOUNTING_PAYROLL, enter:
VSOPEN ACCOUNTING_PAYROLL
