| | |
| :VSCLOSE | Notifies the system that there is a close pending on a |
| | volume set in preparation for removing that volume set from |
| | the system. This command restricts access to the volume set |
| | to jobs/sessions that have done an explicit :VSRESERVE or |
| | :MOUNT on the volume set, or have files open on the volume |
| | set. Specifying ;NOW aborts all jobs and sessions with |
| | files open on the volume set. |
| | |
| | Syntax: :VSCLOSE MPE XL volset [;NOW] |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| :VSOPEN | Cancels a previously issued :VSCLOSE command. The volume |
| | set is accessible again. |
| | |
| | Syntax: :VSOPEN MPE XL volset |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| :VSRESERVESYS | Reserves a volume set at the system level. This command has |
| | no effect on the :VSRESERVE or :VSRELEASE user commands. |
| | |
| | Syntax: :VSRESERVESYS MPE XL volset [GEN=gen_number] |
| | |

| | |
| :VSRELEASESYS | Negates a previously issued :VSRESERVESYS command issued by |
| | the Operator. If a :VSRESERVESYS command has been issued, |
| | VSRELEASESYS must be issued before the volume set can be |
| | removed. |
| | |
| | Syntax: :VSRELEASESYS MPE XL volset |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The MPE V/E keyword VS has been removed from all MPE XL system commands.
Replacing the VS keyword are the ONVS and HOMEVS keywords. The ONVS
keyword specifies the volume where the action of the system command takes
place. The HOMEVS keyword specifies the volume set where files in a
particular group are to be built.
The following MPE XL commands (shown in Table 5-3 ) have the ONVS
keyword. Only the :ALTGROUP and :NEWGROUP commands use both the ONVS and
the HOMEVS keywords.
Refer to the MPE XL Commands Reference Manual (32650-90003) for detailed
descriptions of these commands.
