9 - 11
ADD VOLUME and SUBVOLUME Commands
WARNING-MODE { ON | OFF }
defines whether warning mode is enabled for the specified volume or
subvolume. The value is required. For more information on warning mode, see
the Safeguard Administrator's Manual.
ON enables warning mode for the specified volume or subvolume. The initial
value is OFF
, which disables warning mode for the specified volume or
subvolume.
Considerations
•
Volume and subvolume security can be managed from remote nodes.
By default, only a local super group user can add an authorization record for a
volume, and only a local user can add an authorization record for a subvolume.
However, when a user adds an authorization record for a volume or subvolume,
the user can specify the owner (through the OWNER attribute) as a network user
ID. A network user who owns a volume or subvolume authorization record can
manage the Safeguard access controls from a remote node.
•
Attributes in an ADD command affect only the record added.
Any attribute specifications in an ADD VOLUME or ADD SUBVOLUME command
affect only the authorization record being created and do not change the current
default attribute values. This condition is also true for a LIKE clause in an ADD
command.
Examples
1. Using a LIKE clause is a convenient way to add a new volume or subvolume
authorization record that has the same attribute values as those defined for
another volume or subvolume. For example, this command adds an authorization
record for the volume $DATA1 with the same attribute values as those currently
defined for $DATA2 and allows you to enter text description for the record:
=ADD VOLUME $data1, OBJECT-TEXT-DESCRIPTION “Record Created”&
,LIKE $data2
2. Modify the attribute values specified in a LIKE clause by specifying the values for
the attributes you want to change in the ADD command. For example, this
command adds an authorization record for $DATA1 that has the same attribute
values as $DATA2 except for the OWNER attribute and allows you to enter text
description for the created record:
=ADD VOLUME $data1, OBJECT-TEXT-DESCRIPTION “Record Created”&
,LIKE $data2, OWNER sales.mike
