Volume Management

DISMOUNT 

The DISMOUNT command logically dismounts a volume.  The volume entry
corresponding to the specified LDEV is removed from the mounted volume
table in DISCUTIL. For removable disk drives, a volume can be dismounted,
then the media or disk pack on the corresponding LDEV can be powered off
and removed.  A new disk pack may then be mounted in the disk drive,
powered on, and mounted with the MOUNT command.  DISCUTIL then recognizes
the new disk pack.

Task 

Dismounts a disk.

Capability 

No special capability required.

Syntax 

     DISMOUNT [LDEV=] ldev 

Parameter 

ldev                  A number from 1 to 100 specifying the logical
                      device number of the volume that will be
                      dismounted.  Required.
