Technical data

MOUNT
Associates an ancillary control process (ACP) to process the volume, overriding
the default manner in which the client associates ACPs with NFS devices
(starting a new ACP for each mount request). The options are:
UNIQUE
Creates a new ACP for the new NFS device.
Requires OPER privilege.
SAME:DNFSn:
Uses the same ACP as the specified device.
Requires OPER privilege.
FILE:file
Creates a new ACP running the image specified by file. Do not use
wildcards, host names, or directory names.
Requires CMKRNL or OPER privilege.
/PROTECTION=protections
Optional. Default: /PROTECTION=(S:RWED,O:RWED,G:RWED,W:RWED).
Protection code for the volume. If you omit a category, the client denies access to
that category of user.
Applied only on the first mount of an NFS device and ignored with subsequent
mounts on that device.
Restrictions: Requires OPER privilege.
/RETRIES=n
Optional. Default: /RETRIES=0 (the client retries the request forever or until the
server responds).
Maximum number of read or write retries if the NFS server fails to respond.
/RETRIES=0 is a close equivalent to a UNIX hard mount. If you attempt to abort
a command or program while it is still retrying the I/O operation on a client
device, the process enters RWAST state and remains in that state until the NFS
server responds. A process in RWAST state cannot be terminated. If the server
does not become available, the only way remove the process without rebooting the
client host is to dismount the client device with the /ALL qualifier.
/SERVER_TYPE=type
Optional. Default: UNIX.
Operating system of the host running NFS server. The values for type are:
UNIX
IBM_VM
If the server is TCP/IP Services Version 3.3 or later, this qualifier is ignored
because the client and server always operate in OpenVMS-to-OpenVMS mode.
/SHARE
Places the logical name in the job logical name table and increments the volume
mount count regardless of the number of job mounts. When the job logs out, all
job mounts are dismounted, causing the volume mount count to be decremented.
