]] [;GEN=[

volume- setname
An artificial component of a volume set name used to maintain
backward compatibility with MPE V/E. The
volumesetname
can be a
maximum of 8 characters.
groupname
Used only for compatibility with MPE V/E. The
groupname
can be a
maximum of 8 characters.
acctname
Used only for compatibility with MPE V/E. The
acctname
can be a
maximum of 8 characters.
genindex
A value from -1 to 32,767 specifying which generation of the home volume
set is to be reserved. A value of -1 indicates that any generation is
permitted. If omitted, the system ignores the generation when attempting
to satisfy the MOUNT request.
Operation Notes
The MOUNT command reserves a specific volume set for use. It notifies the system that the
volume set is to remain online and is not to be taken offline by a VSCLOSE command.
Volume sets in MPE/iX are not tied to groups and accounts. This is different from the MPE
V/E scheme of disk partitioning.
The MPE/iX naming convention for volume sets differs from the MPE V/E naming
convention for private volumes. 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.
Table 9-1. on page 318 illustrates the differences between the MPE/iX and MPE V/E
naming conventions for volume sets.
