the logon group and account if

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.
Operation Notes
The DISMOUNT command allows you to release a volume set that you explicitly reserved
using the MOUNT or VSRESERVE command. You can request a release only for a volume set
that you have reserved; you cannot alter the status of the volume set for other users.
Volume sets in MPE/iX are not tied to groups and accounts (this differs from the MPE V/E
scheme of disk partitioning).
The naming convention for MPE/iX volume sets differs from the naming convention for
MPE V/E private volumes. MPE/iX volume set names may consist of any combination of
alphanumeric characters, including the period (.) and the underbar (_). The name must
begin with an alphabetic character and consist of no more than 32 characters.
Table 5-1. on page 163 is a comparison of naming conventions between the MPE/iX
VSxxxxxx and MPE V/E xxxMOUNT commands
