Binds up to three physical devices into a shadow set represented by the virtual unit named in the command. Applicable only if you have the volume shadowing option. See Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS.
virtual-unit-name[:] /SHADOW=(physical-device-name[:][,...])
Indicates that you are mounting a shadow set including the physical devices and the virtual unit that represents them to the system. This qualifier instructs MOUNT to expect a virtual unit name as the device-name parameter. Place the /SHADOW qualifier after the virtual-unit-name parameter.Use the virtual unit naming format DSAn, where n is a unique number from 0 to 9999. For the physical-device-name, use the standard device-naming format $allocation-class$ddcu[:].
Examples
$ MOUNT DSA0: /SHADOW=($1$DUA10:,$1$DUA11:) SHADOWVOL %MOUNT-I-MOUNTED, SHADOWVOL mounted on DSA0: %MOUNT-I-SHDWMEMSUCC, _$1$DUA10: (MEMBER1) is now a valid member of the shadow set %MOUNT-I-SHDWMEMCOPY, _$1$DUA11: (MEMBER2) added to the shadow set with a copy operation
$ MOUNT/BIND=TEST3013 DSA3011/SHADOW=($1$DUA402:,$1$DUA403:), DSA3012/SHADOW=($1$DUA404:,$1$DUA405:) TEST3011,TEST3012 TEST3013
Specifies, for a disk volume, that the volume is shareable.
/SHARE
/NOSHARE
If another user has already mounted the volume shareable, and you request it to be mounted with the /SHARE qualifier, any other qualifiers you enter are ignored.By default, a volume is not shareable, and the MOUNT command allocates the device on which it is mounted.
If you previously allocated the device and specify the /SHARE qualifier, the MOUNT command deallocates the device so that other users can access it.
The /SHARE qualifier is incompatible with the /GROUP and /SYSTEM qualifiers.
$ MOUNT/NOMESSAGE/SHARE DLA0: SLIP DISC
This command mounts the device labeled SLIP on DLA0, disables broadcasting of MOUNT messages, specifies that the volume is shareable, and assigns the logical name DISC.
Enables protected subsystems.
/SUBSYSTEM
/NOSUBSYSTEM
Enables the processing of subsystem ACEs. Requires the SECURITY privilege. By default, the disk from which you boot has /SUBSYSTEM enabled but other disks do not. For further details on subsystems, see the OpenVMS Guide to System Security.
$ MOUNT/NOMESSAGE/SUBSYSTEM DUA1: SLIP SACH
This command mounts the volume labeled SLIP on DUA1 with mount messages disabled. Subsystems on the volume are accessible. MOUNT also assigns the logical name SACH.
Makes the volume public, that is, available to all users of the system, as long as the UIC-based volume protection allows them access.
/SYSTEM
The logical name for the device is placed in the system logical name table. You must have the user privilege SYSNAM to use the /SYSTEM qualifier.When you mount a volume with the /SYSTEM qualifier in a VMScluster system, you must use a volume label that is unique clusterwide, even if the specified volume is not mounted clusterwide.
The /SYSTEM qualifier is incompatible with the /GROUP, /OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION, and /SHARE qualifiers.
Examples
$ MOUNT/NOMESSAGE/SYSTEM DUA1: SLIP SACH
$ MOUNT/SYSTEM/BIND=MASTER_PAY - _$ DB1:,DB2:,DB3: PAYVOL1,PAYVOL2,PAYVOL3
Supplies the escape sequence to select the coded graphic character set, a requirement when mounting an ISO 9660 volume for one of the Supplementary Volume Descriptors (SVDs).
/UCS_SEQUENCE=escape_sequence
escape_sequence
A character sequence defined by the vendor who mastered the CD--ROM and is unique to the vendor's character set conversion tables.
Use the /UCS_SEQUENCE qualifier when mounting an ISO 9660 CD--ROM that contains non-ASCII character sets on OpenVMS.An ISO 9660 volume may contain an SVD that specifies a graphic character set. This graphic character, when selected at mount time, is used as default character set when displaying a volume's directories and file names.
The /UCS_SEQUENCE qualifer defines the escape sequence to select the coded graphic character set.
All ISO 9660 volumes contain a Primary Volume Descriptor (PVD) that uses ASCII (ISO 646-IRV) as the character set. Both ISO 9660 and OpenVMS filenaming conventions use the same subset of ASCII characters when displaying a volume's directories and file names.
Establishes default file attributes to be used for records on ISO 9660 media for which no record format has been specified.
/UNDEFINED_FAT=record-format:[record-attributes:][record-size]
record-format
Specifies the format for all records in a file: FIXED, VARIABLE, STREAM, STREAM_LF, STREAM_CR, LSB_VARIABLE, or MSB_VARIABLE. For a description of these record formats, see the discussion of the RMS field FAB$B_RFM in the OpenVMS Record Management Services Reference Manual.record-attributes
Specifies the attributes for all records in a file: NONE, CR, FTN, PRN, NOBKS. Applies only to non-STREAM record formats. For a description of these record attributes, see the discussion of the RMS field FAB$B_RAT in the OpenVMS Record Management Services Reference Manual.record-size
Specifies the maximum record size for all records in a file: 0 to 32767. Applies only to FIXED or STREAM record formats. For a description of possible RMS record sizes, see the discussion of the RMS field FAB$W_MRS in the OpenVMS Record Management Services Reference Manual.
ISO 9660 media can be mastered from platforms that do not support semantics of files containing predefined record formats. The /UNDEFINED_FAT qualifier establishes default file attributes to be used for records on ISO 9660 media for which no record format has been specified.The /UNDEFINED_FAT qualifier is valid only in conjunction with the /MEDIA_FORMAT=CDROM qualifier. This qualifier temporarily overrides all undefined file types, replacing them with selectable record formats having selectable record attributes and selectable record sizes as shown in the following illustration:
record formats
- FIXED:record-attributes[,...]:record-size
- VARIABLE:record-attributes[,...]
- STREAM:record-size
- STREAM_LF:record-size
- STREAM_CR:record-size
- LSB_VARIABLE:record-attributes[,...]
record_attributes
- NONE - None
- CR - Carriage_return
- FTN - Fortran
- PRN - Print
- NOBKS - No-Block-Span
record_size
- 1 to 32767
$ MOUNT/MEDIA_FORMAT=CDROM/UNDEFINED_FAT=(FIXED:CR:80) DBA1: OFFENS STRAT
In this example, the volume labeled OFFENS is mounted on DBA1 and all files on the volume are defined to be fixed length, carriage return, and 80 bytes in length. MOUNT also assigns the logical name STRAT.
Controls whether or not the disk or magnetic tape volume or volumes specified in the MOUNT command are unloaded when they are dismounted. The default is /UNLOAD.
/UNLOAD
/NOUNLOAD
$ MOUNT/NOUNLOAD DBA1: OFFENS STRAT
In this example, the volume labeled OFFENS is mounted on DBA1 with the /NOUNLOAD qualifier so that it can be dismounted without being physically unloaded. MOUNT also assigns the logical name STRAT.
Specifies the number of mapping pointers to be allocated for file windows.
/WINDOWS= n
n
Specifies a value from 7 to 80 that overrides the default value specified when the volume was initialized.
When a file is opened, the file system uses the mapping pointers to access data in the file. Use MOUNT/WINDOWS to override the default value specified when the volume was initialized. If no value was specified at volume initialization, the default number of mapping pointers is 7.You must have the operator user privilege (OPER) to use the /WINDOWS qualifier.
$ MOUNT/SYSTEM/WINDOWS=25 DBA2: GONWITH THE_WINDOW
This command makes the volume labeled GONWITH on DBA2 available systemwide and assigns the logical name THE_WINDOW. You override the default number of mapping pointers by specifying a value of 25 for the /WINDOWS qualifier.
Controls whether the volume can be written.
/WRITE
/NOWRITE
By default, a volume is considered read/write when it is mounted. You can specify /NOWRITE to provide read-only access to protect files. This is equivalent to write-locking the device.
$ MOUNT/CLUSTER/NOWRITE NODE$DBA1: BOOKS
This command mounts a volume labeled BOOKS on NODE$DBA1 and then proceeds to mount it on each node in the existing OpenVMS Cluster. The /NOWRITE qualifier makes the volume available for read-only access.
For examples 1 and 2, operator assistance is not required, assuming the volumes are in the drives. Examples 3 to 6 describe operator-assisted mounts. Examples 7 and 8 describe mounting ISO 9660 CD--ROM volume sets, example 9 makes subsystems on a volume accessible, and example 10 demonstrates mounting a shadow set.
