The VMOUNT command is used by the operator to enable and disable the mountable (nonsystem) volume facility. At system startup the volume facility is enabled to automatically answer nonsystem volume requests, such as VSRESERVE and VSRESERVESYS. Without the AUTO parameter, the operator has to respond to the requests.

Task

Enables nonsystem volumes.

Capability

SM, system manager capability and can only be issued from the console.

Syntax

   VMOUNT {ON[,AUTO]

          OFF      } [;ALL]

Parameters

ON or ON,AUTO

Enables the use of nonsystem volumes. When ON is used without AUTO, the operator must reply to all reserve-related requests. When ON,AUTO is used, the system attempts to satisfy user reserve-related requests without operator intervention.

OFF

The operator can set VMOUNT to OFF, which will cause the system to reject all requests to use nonsystem volumes. Users who have already reserved volume sets will not be affected. The command will take effect when the last file is closed.

ALL

The ALL parameter displays all reserve-related messages on the system console. Optional.

Example

The example on the following page shows how to disable and enable the volume set facility.

  1. Disable the volume sets by entering the VMOUNT command at the system prompt.

    
    
       :VMOUNT OFF
    
    
    
  2. Verify that the nonsystem volume sets cannot be accessed by trying to open a file on a nonsystem volume that you know is online. Verify that it cannot be opened.

  3. Enable the volume set facility by entering the VMOUNT command.

       :VMOUNT ON,AUTO
    
  4. Verify that the volume sets can be accessed by opening a file on a volume set you know is online. Verify that it can be opened.
