HP Resource Sharing for MPE/iX

Creating a Shared Disc 

The first step in using the Resource Manager Utility (RESMGR) is to
create a shared disc.  Creating a shared disc establishes a root file in
your logon group (or the group you specify).  The root file stores
pointers to the directories and files on your shared disc.  There can be
only one shared disc per MPE group.

When you create a shared disc root directory, you are creating an HP 3000
file.  You must therefore be able to create and delete files on the HP
3000 (SF capability).  If you are creating a shared disc on a nonsystem
volume set, you must have UV and CV capabilities. 

To create a shared disc: 

   1.  Access the RESMGR main screen (described in "Running Resource
       Manager" in Chapter 8), then choose  Disc  f1.

   2.  Choose  Create Disc  f1.

          *   If you have basic capabilities, RESMGR immediately creates
              the shared disc in the logon group and account.  This
              message appears:

                   Shared disc created in group.account.
                   A share must exist before it can be used.

              You have completed creating a shared disc.  Now go to the
              next page to create shares for the disc.

          *   If you have AM capabilities, you can designate the group in
              which you want to create a shared disc.  The program
              prompts:

                   MPE group ('//' to cancel, default=group)?

              Press Enter to accept the default value (your logon group),
              or enter the group name.

              To cancel the operation, enter two slashes (//) at any
              field.


NOTE Before you can use the disc you created, you must share it. That is, you must define a connection path to it and identify the ways in which the shared disc can be accessed. Sharing a disc is described on the next page.
