   The MOUNT DISK command mounts a virtual disk, making  it  available
   as a service to the network via the Disk Server.

   Format:

     MOUNT DISK filespec [service-name]

ParametersQualifiers

filespec

   filespec is a standard VMS file  specification,  and  is  the  file
   specification by which the virtual disk file is known.  The default
   file extension for a virtual disk is ".DSK".  The target  directory
   for the virtual disk file may be explicitly stated in the filespec,
   or a standard location may be chosen.  In the later case, the /TYPE
   qualifier is used to select a target directory.

service-name

   service-name is the 1 to 25 character name  by  which  the  service
   will  be  known.  If no service-name is specified, the service name
   will be the filename portion of the filespec.

Additional information available:

/ACCESS/CLUSTER/CONNECTIONS/PASSWORD/PERMANENT
/RATING/TYPE

 /ACCESS=access-mode

   Controls the type of access allowed to the service.   The  possible
   values for access-mode are:

   READ (default)

                   The service may be used  by  multiple  clients  for
                   read only access

   WRITE

                   The service may be used by a single client for read
                   and write access.

 /CLUSTER [ = (node,...)]

   Specifies that the virtual disk is to  be  mounted  on  the  listed
   nodes  in a cluster.  node is the 1 to 6 character DECnet node name
   of a node.  If no node list is specified, then the disk is  mounted
   on all nodes in the cluster currently running the disk server.

 /CONNECTIONS=n
 /CONNECTIONS=NO_LIMIT

   Controls the maximum number of connections that can be made to  the
   service.  n specifies the maximum number of connections that can be
   issued from all clients to this service.  If NO_LIMIT is specified,
   then there is no limit to the number of connections to the service.
   If the qualifier is omitted, and the service is being mounted  read
   only, then a limit of 30 will be set by default.  If the service is
   being mounted read/write, then n must be in the range 0 -  1,  with
   the default being 1.

 /PASSWORD [ = password]
 /NOPASSWORD (default)

   Controls whether a password is required in order to connect to  the
   service  to  restrict access to authorized users.  If the qualifier
   value is not specified, then you will be prompted for the  password
   and  a  verification  of the password.  In this form, the passwords
   will not be echoed on the terminal.  If the /PERMANENT qualifier is
   specified,  the  service  will  be  re-offered  with  the specified
   password on subsequent restarts of the Disk Server.  If /NOPASSWORD
   is specified, unrestricted access to the service will be allowed.

 /PERMANENT
 /NOPERMANENT (default)

   Specifies whether the virtual disk is to be permanently mounted.  A
   permanently  mounted  disk  will  be automatically remounted by the
   Disk Server upon startup.

 /RATING=n

   Specifies a service rating between 0 and 65535 inclusive.  If  this
   qualifier  is  omitted,  then  a  service  rating  of  1 is used by
   default.

 /TYPE=class

   Determines  a  standard  target  directory  specification  for  the
   virtual  disk  file.   The  qualifier  selects  one of the logicals
   listed below based on the value of class.  The logical is  used  to
   provide   a  default  device  and  directory  when  generating  the
   filespec.  Possible values for the qualifier are:

   APPLICATION

                   The file will be placed in the directory determined
                   by the logical LAD$APPLICATION_DISKS.

   BOOT

                   The file is located in the directory determined  by
                   the logical LAD$BOOT_DISKS.

   SYSTEM

                   The file is located in the directory determined  by
                   the logical LAD$SYSTEM_DISKS.

   USER (default)

                   The  file  is  located  in  the   current   default
                   directory.
