Volume Management

Creating Groups 

A group is specified on a nonsystem volume set to limit access to files.
A group is contained within one volume set or one single volume.

The system is designed to gain access to groups through the system volume
set, even though the groups exist on the nonsystem volume set.
Therefore, entries must be made in two directories (system and nonsystem
directory), and two NEWGROUP commands are necessary.

Example:  Creating a Group 

This example shows how to create a group on a nonsystem volume set.

   1.  Log on to the new account.

   2.  At the system prompt, create the group, DATABASE, on the system
       volume set with the HOMEVS parameter.  HOMEVS is only used with
       groups.  HOMEVS tells the file system to place the files of a
       group on a particular volume set.

   3.  Next create the group on the nonsystem volume set with the ONVS
       parameter.  ONVS refers to the nonsystem volume.  Refer to the
       MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual Volumes 1 and 2 (32650-90003 and
       32650-90364) for a detailed description of this command.

       [REV BEG]

       Account information is stored on the system volume.  This means
       that even if the PROD_SET volume set is removed from the system,
       you can still log on to the CUST account, which is on a different
       volume set.  This also means that if the PROD_SET volume set is
       moved to another system, the account structure (groups and
       accounts) moves with it and must also exist on the new system
       volume set's directory in order to access these files.  System
       account information (like passwords and capabilities) resides on
       the system volume set, as does user information.[REV END]

   4.  Use the REPORT command to verify account and group information.
