The VSRESERVESYS command is an operator command that reserves a volume set on a system-wide basis. Logging on and off does not cancel the reserve.

This command can be used when the operator wants to stream several jobs that use files on the volume set. This system-wide reserve remains in effect during the logging on and logging off of the jobs that use the volume set.

Reserves the volume set for the entire system. This command indicates to the system that the volume set is to remain online until an VSRELEASESYS command is issued. Unlike the VSRESERVE command, this command is unaffected by logging off.

Task

Keeps a volume set online.

Capability

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

Syntax

   VSRESERVESYS  volsetname 

Parameter

volsetname

The volume set that will be kept online. Required.

Example

This command shows how to reserve a volume set on a system-wide basis.

  1. Use DSTAT to verify that the volume set is mounted and online. The master/member status indicates that the set is online.

  2. Reserve the volume set.

       :DSTAT
    
    
    
       LDEV-TYPE   STATUS   VOLUME (VOLUME SET - GEN)
    
       ---------   ------   --------------------------
    
       21-079350   MASTER   BVOL1          (BSET-0)
    
       22-079350   MEMBER   BVOL2          (BSET-0)
    
       23-079350   MEMBER   BVOL3          (BSET-0)
    
    
    
       :VSRESERVESYS BSET
    
  3. Verify that the set is reserved by attempting to close it.

  4. Verify that the volume set is still online. The master/member status indicates that the set is online.

       :VSCLOSE BSET
    
    
    
       VSRESERVESYS (OR LMOUNT) IS IN EFFECT ON VOLUME SET.
