VMOUNT


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 will be
                    rejected.

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


OPERATION


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

     MPE/iX uses a naming convention for volume sets that is
     different that of MPE V/E for private volumes.  Refer to
     the MOUNT, DISMOUNT, VSRESERVE, or VSRELEASE commands.
     Once the Movable Volume facility has been enabled, VSUSER
     Once the Movable Volume facility has been enabled, VSUSER
     command to determine which users have which volume sets
     reserved.  Refer to the VSUSER command.

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

     The operator will have 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.

     This command may be issued from a session, job, in BREAK, or
     from a program.  Pressing [Break] has no effect on this
     command.  It may be issued only from the console, unless it
     is distributed to users with the ALLOW command.


EXAMPLE(S)


     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
