Command Definitions L-O
LMOUNT
If the mountable volumes facility was enabled with VMOUNT ON,AUTO, MPE/iX
automatically attempts to satisfy the mount request; the LMOUNT succeeds if the specified
volume set is physically connected to the system.
If the mountable volumes facility was enabled with VMOUNT ON (omitting the AUTO
parameter), you must reply to your own mount request, even though the volume set may
already be mounted and in use.
Volume sets in MPE/iX are not tied to groups and accounts. This is different from the MPE
V/E scheme of disk partitioning.
The MPE/iX new naming convention for volume sets differs from the MPE V/E naming
convention for private volumes. MPE/iX volume set names may consist of any combination
of alphanumeric characters, including the underbar (_) and the period (.). The name must
begin with an alphabetic character and consist of no more than 32 characters.
Table 5-4 illustrates the difference between naming conventions for MPE/iX volume sets
and MPE V/E private volumes.
Table 5-4 Command Acceptance of Naming Conventions - LMOUNT Command
In MPE V/E, the name V.G.A indicates that V is the name of a volume set, that G is the
name of a group, and that A is the name of an account.
MPE/iX accepts that name in that form, but no interpretation is made as to the referencing
of G and A. Instead, MPE/iX treats V.G.A as a single, long string name, just as it would
treat A_VERY_LONG_NAME_FOR_SOMETHING.
As a convenience to established Hewlett-Packard users, MPE/iX accepts the naming
convention that was used for MPE V/E private volumes.Thus MOUNT V.G.A succeeds and
MOUNT V accesses the same volume set, provided you are logged on to account A, group G.
The MPE V/E commands are able to default the logon account and group.
