VOLUME Guidelines
node
sets the current default node for FUP. You can set the default node only in a
named node; for example, a node that is part of a network.
volume
sets the current default volume name for FUP operations.
subvol
sets the current default subvolume name for FUP operations.
VOLUME Guidelines

Typing the VOLUME command without a parameter restores the defaults that were
enabled when you started FUP, including the original node.

When you supply node (even if you specify the name of the local node), FUP uses
the network form for file-name expansion. Using the network form causes only
volume or device names with six characters or fewer to be accessible.

You cannot specify a new current default volume name that has more than six
characters after the dollar sign ($) on a remote node.

node and subvolume are optional. If you omit these parameters, FUP uses their
current default values.

If node is an invalid node name, FUP displays an error message and does not
change the node. However, FUP does not issue an error if volume (or its default
value) does not exist on the new system.

FUP and the command interpreter keep separate defaults for node, volume, and
subvolume. When you exit FUP, the command interpreter defaults are still the
values that were enabled when you started FUP.
VOLUME Examples

To set the current default subvolume for FUP to SUBVOL1 but not change the
current default volume or node:
-VOLUME SUBVOL1

To set the current default volume for FUP to $BOOKS3 but not change the current
default subvolume or node:
-VOLUME $BOOKS3

To set the current default node, volume, and subvolume for FUP operations to
\ITALY, $MILANO, and ARTWORK:
-VOLUME \ITALY.$MILANO.ARTWORK
