The VMOUNT command is used by the operator to enable and disable the mountable (nonsystem) volume facility. At system startup the volume facility is enabled to automatically answer nonsystem volume requests, such as VSRESERVE and VSRESERVESYS. Without the AUTO parameter, the operator has to respond to the requests. Task |  |
