Mounting a CMS minidisk on OS/2
Examples
- When the minidisk is protected by link passwords,
enter the minidisk's read-write password at the prompt.
(If the ro parameter
is used, use the read-only password.)
- To work with text files that can be used from both CMS and
OS/2:
MOUNT -v m: hostname:jake.191,rw,lines=nl,trans=yes,nlvalue=0D0A -
To use a minidisk as a repository for binary files:
MOUNT -v n: hostname:jake.191,rw,lines=none,trans=no
- To work with text files that can be used from both CMS and
OS/2:
- When the disk is protected by an External Security Manager (ESM)
such as RACF/VM, and PCNFSD
is available on your NFS server,
enter the logon password for the VM user ID specified on
-l at the prompt.
- To work with text files that can be used from both CMS and
OS/2
MOUNT -lvmuserid m: hostname:jake.191,rw,lines=nl,trans=yes,nlvalue=0D0A - To use a minidisk as a repository for binary files:
MOUNT -lvmuserid n: hostname:jake.191,rw,lines=none,trans=no
- To work with text files that can be used from both CMS and
OS/2
- When the disk is protected by an External Security Manager (ESM)
such as RACF/VM, and PCNFSD
is not available on your NFS server,
enter the logon password for the VM user ID specified on
userid= at the prompt.
- To work with text files that can be used from both CMS and
OS/2
MOUNT -v m: hostname:jake.191,rw,lines=nl,trans=yes,nlvalue=0D0A,userid=elwood - To use a minidisk as a repository for binary files:
MOUNT -v n: hostname:jake.191,rw,lines=none,trans=no,userid=elwood
- To work with text files that can be used from both CMS and
OS/2
Hints and Tips
- Starting in
TCP/IP level 320
for VM/ESA Version 2, Release 4.0, your
NFS administrator can configure the VM NFS server so that no anonymous
mounts are allowed, even for minidisks protected by passwords. In this
case, identify yourself by specifying
userid= and
password= on the mount string (where
password= is userid's logon password),
and specify the minidisk link password using
mdiskpw=.
-
See MOUNT command,
MOUNTPW command, and
UMOUNT command,
for complete syntax descriptions.
Still having trouble? Try
Diagnosing Mount Problems.
The MOUNT command syntax shows how passwords and user IDs can be entered as part of the command string.
- You can use any LOGON BY privileges defined
for your VM user ID. See the userid= and
by= parameters on the MOUNT
command for more information.
-
If you want EBCDIC-ASCII translation and bytestream-to-record
translation to be done based on the value of the
file extension,
use the
lines=ext and
trans=ext
parameters.
- When a minidisk is mounted, the
VM NFS server machine LINKs to the target minidisk. If the minidisk is
linked by
other VM user IDs, the NFS server must sometimes be told
to refresh or detach the disk.
Use the
SMSG command to refresh or detach a link
to a CMS minidisk.
- Be careful about submitting too many MOUNT requests with an invalid
password. The VM system may disable a user ID if too many attempts
are made to verify a userid/password combination.
- The lines, trans, and nlvalue parameters are supported only on NFS servers running at least TCP/IP level 310 for VM/ESA Version 2 Release 3.
