FILE_CREATELIST_ Procedure
109 * Alternate-file relative names. Concatenated names of the
alternate-key files. Each name occupies the number of
characters specified in the corresponding entry of item 108;
total length of this parameter is the sum of the values in item
108. The names must be fully qualified, except the system
name can be missing. If the system name is missing, the
system of the primary file is used. Also, an implicit system is not
recorded explicitly with the file, and so it remains relative to the
primary file if copied to another system.
The volume portion of the name can be eight characters
(including the “$”) only if the specified or implied system is the
same as the system where the primary partition is created.
This is an alternate form for item 104 and, if used, must
immediately follow item 108.
The items 178-179 must both be supplied if either is supplied, and they must be
supplied as consecutive items in the order presented here:
178 2 Physical volume name length. The length in bytes of the name
given by item 179.
179 * Physical volume name. When creating a file on a SMF virtual
volume, this item specifies the physical volume on which the file
is to reside. The name is in external form and optionally
includes the node name; if the node name is unspecified, it is
taken from the =_DEFAULTS DEFINE. The physical volume
must be a member of the pool associated with the virtual
volume. If this item is not supplied, the SMF subsystem
chooses a physical volume from the pool.
180 2 Suggested primary processor. If not -1 (null), and if there is a
choice of suitable physical volumes, this value specifies the
processor number of the processor desired to contain the
primary process of the disk process providing the physical
storage for the file. This value is advisory only and does not
have any effect if the file is not being created on a SMF virtual
volume, if a physical volume is specified by using item 179, or if
no suitable physical volume is available on which a virtual disk
process in the specified processor could place a file.
Table 5-3. FILE_CREATELIST_ Item Codes (page 10 of 12)
Items in this table with a size of 2 bytes are of data type INT. The term “disk file”
applies only to Enscribe files. The term “disk object” applies to Enscribe files and
SQL objects.
