HPVOLINFO - New Volume Intrinsic by Lalitha Pejavar--Commercial Systems Division The new volume intrinsic HPVOLINFO provides a way to retrieve volume information about both system and nonsystem volumes (on MPE V/E, nonsystem volumes are equivalent to private volumes). The volume information that is returned can be used to track volume space usage. More specifically, the information that is returned describes how the space on volumes is allocated i.e., how much is used for operating system purposes, how much space is free space, how much space is used for spool files, etc. Also, with this information, volume fragmentation and lost disc space information can be determined. With this intrinsic, the trend of volume usage can be observed so that future disc needs can be predicted. This intrinsic is supported on both MPE V/E Version G.03.10 and MPE XL Release 2.2 and later. No special capabilities are required in order to use the HPVOLINFO intrinsic. The term volume used throughout this article refers to any disc that is logically mounted on the system. For example, a disc pack that is mounted on a disc drive. This intrinsic can be used to retrieve any of the following information: * Drive type * Capacity of a volume * Sector size of a drive * Amount of volume space used by MPE * Spool file space usage * Permanent and temporary file space usage * Volume type * Volume set name * Number of volume classes * List of volume classes * Ldev that a volume is configured on * Free space information * Number of member volumes * List of member volume names * Number of volume sets * List of volume sets For more detailed information, refer to the related article in the "Technical Articles" section in this Communicator.
