VSRESERVE
Notifies the system to keep a particular volume set online. The
equivalent compatibility mode command is MOUNT. (Native Mode)
Syntax
VSRESERVE [volumesetname][;GEN=genindex]
Parameters
volume- setname The name of the MPE/iX volume set to be kept
online. If you omit the parameter, the request is
issued for the home volume set of the user's logon
group and account. Refer to "Operation Notes."
genindex A value from -1 to 32,767 specifying which
generation of the volume set is to be kept online.
If you omit the parameter, the system does not
check the generation version of the specified
volume set.
Operation Notes
This command calls for the specified volume set to be kept online, and
prevents the console operator from taking a particular volume set
offline. Once this is done, the volume set is designated as being in use
by the user. It remains in this reserved state until the user issues a
VSRELEASE command or the operator issues a VSCLOSE ;NOW command; or until
the user logs off.
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:
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. Use volumes (UV) or create
volumes (CV) capability is required to use this command.
Example
To request that volume set ACCOUNTING_PAYROLL be kept online, enter:
VSRESERVE ACCOUNTING_PAYROLL
