generation version of the specified volume set.
Operation Notes
This command calls for the specified volume set to be kept online, and prevents the console
operator from taking a particular volume set offline. Once this is done, the volume set is
designated as being in use by the user. It remains in this reserved state until the user
issues a VSRELEASE command or the operator issues a VSCLOSE
;NOW command; or until the user logs off.
The MPE/iX naming convention for volume sets differs from that of MPE V/E for private
volumes.
In MPE V/E, the name A.B.C indicates that B is the name of a group and that C is the
name of an account. MPE/iX accepts that name, but no interpretation is made as to the
referencing of B and C. Instead, MPE/iX treats A.B.C as a single, long string name. It is
the flexibility of the MPE/iX naming convention that makes it possible for MPE/iX to work
with a volume set designated A.B.C.
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.
A volume set called MY_OWN_PERSONAL_VOLUME_SET is acceptable in MPE/iX, and so is
MY.OWN.PERSONAL.VOLUME.SET; similarly, A.B.C is acceptable.
If a volume set is named according to the MPE V/E naming convention (A.B.C), you must
use an unambiguous reference when using the MPE/iX volume set commands:
Vcommand A.B.C
Entering Vcommand A fails to access the volume set. You cannot specify the first part of the
volume set name alone and expect the group and account to default.
Use
