VMS Tailoring Facility MOUNT — VMS 4.6
The mount command mounts the library disk on the specified
device and defines a tree of logical names that parallels the
VMS directory structure on the system disk.
Format:

ParametersLogical namesQualifiers
Parameters
ddcu: In the device name, "dd" specifies the device type, "c" designates the controller, and "u", the unit number, uniquely identifies a device on a common controller. label Specifies the label on the disk being mounted. Labels can have from one to twelve characters. If you do not specify a label, the default is VAXVMSLB4.
Logical names
The following system wide logical names are created when the
MOUNT command is issued: ("ddcu" represents the name of the
library device in the examples below.)
LIB$SYSDEVICE = _ddcu:
LIB$TOPSYS = SYS0
LIB$SYSROOT = _ddcu:[SYS0.]
LIB$SYSDISK = LIB$SYSROOT:
LIB$ERRORLOG = LIB$SYSROOT:[SYSERR]
LIB$HELP = LIB$SYSROOT:[SYSHLP]
LIB$LIBRARY = LIB$SYSROOT:[SYSLIB]
LIB$MAINTENANCE = LIB$SYSROOT:[SYSMAINT]
LIB$MANAGER = LIB$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]
LIB$MESSAGE = LIB$SYSROOT:[SYSMSG]
LIB$SHARE = LIB$SYSROOT:[SYSLIB]
LIB$SYSTEM = LIB$SYSROOT:[SYSEXE]
LIB$TEST = LIB$SYSROOT:[SYSTEST]
LIB$UPDATE = LIB$SYSROOT:[SYSUPD]
Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/WRITE
Permits writing to the library disk. This qualifier is intended
for use only when installing optional software and running the
UETP. Your library disk should be treated as a read only source
of VAX/VMS components. By default, the library disk is
write-locked.
CAUTION
Altering your library disk produces an unsupported
software configuration and may result in incorrect
system operation.
